All those who urged the BLM to void the leases should not be allowed to purchase and gasoline or fuel to heat their homes unless it is solar or some other non-”fossil” fuel since they hate it and are against it.

No problem as long as Colorado stops using petroleum products.

Hope those elitists were in the 1st amendment area. Otherwise BLM is violently opposed to hearing a citizens opinion.

Dingy Harry would never allow “going after oil and gas leases” in his area of Nevada. He couldn’t care less about Colorado.

BLM must be unfunded and put out of business. The land currently held by the Federal Government should be returned back to the States. The exception would be parks and other recreational areas. Since the primary responsibility of the Federal Government is security and protecting America then some property should be used by the military.

“U.S. Sen. Mark Udall (D-Colo.)”

As someone else on FR named them, the Udalls are political pests.

Go Gardner!

Those people are like watermelons, green on the outside and red on the inside. They want to de-industrialize America. They are working to weaken America in order to advance world wide communism.

Soooooo. Our good elitists meet in Aspen to tell the rest of us chumps that we don’t need oil or gas because THEY have determined NIMBY. Of course these few dozen people that showed up couldn’t care less what a gallon of gasoline costs, nor do they care how much it costs to heat their gargantuan houses. Let them eat ice cubes while they ride a public bus.

Yup. The elite. They want to live in luxury in their warm cozy wooden homes, dressed in fine leather and sleeping on smooth linens, eating and enjoying their beef and farm fresh produce, eggs, butter, bread and fresh milk, enjoying fine wine and cheese and drive around in their expensive cars on paved roads. But they don’t want to be bothered or even think about the hardworking loggers, drillers, miners, ranchers, farmers, producers, processors, manufacturers, construction contractors, transporters, etc, who make it all possible. Obama promises to provide all this stuff by magic.

Industry and capitalism and fiercely independent hardworking people built this great country and provides our high standard of living. Obama and the elite progressives are bound and determined to destroy it.

Seriously!! It is WAAAAYYY past time to have people start feeling the results of their idiotic decisions.

All power generating plants that use oil and gas to supply electricity to the state of Colorado should power down their plants, and put in ad in all of the Colorado newspapers for tomorrow (since very few will have power to turn on their TV's) and state that as of now, they will no longer be using such 'dirty' fuels to keep the lights on.

I want to see the giant crying moaning shitstorm of humanity that will make its way toward the power plants to beg them to start up the juice again.

Pain is the ultimate motivator. No one takes their hand off of a hot stove because it tickles. They do it because it hurts. Make these stupid decisions hurt.

"PeakFeed: “Colorado is a Godsend for Republicans” Published on April 18, 2014 by ColoradoPeakPolitics

The pundits say:

“Colorado is a Godsend for Republicans to get a candidate like Cory Gardner,” says host Luke Russert.

“This recruiting class by (NRSC Chairman) Jerry Moran is so good it makes Nick Saban jealous,” says political consultant Brad Todd. ..."

A stretch of largely vacant federal lands in Utah, Wyoming, and Colorado may hold more recoverable oil than all the rest of the world put together

http://www.thenewamerican.com/tech/energy/item/11387-the-green-river-formation-worlds-largest-oil-shale-deposits

The government owning all this land is socialism/communism . this land should be returned to private companies so that they can develop the vast oil resources

The federal government owns 86% of the land of Nevada . that is unconstitutional as this shows:

http://benswann.com/lofti-who-actually-owns-americas-land-a-deeper-look-at-the-bundy-ranch-crisis/

Nevada or individuals own that land not the federal government. that is pure marxism/socialism(fed owning all that land in Nevada and other states). the gov are using that land for environmentalism(communism/marxism) when private industry like that rancher Bundy, oil companies and others could be using it to produce

Oil is almost never used to generate electric power. When it is, it is usually refinery “leftovers”, residual oil or petroleum coke. The heavies left after fuels like gasoline and diesel are removed.

Everything is relative.

In Colorado, especially this part of Colorado, there is a lot more money to be made off the tourist business than there is off the oil business.

The state of Colorado would get half the royalty on these federal lands, but they have no input on setting the royalties or setting environmental standards.

This is not to say that there are not areas in CO, that are not tourist areas, that would be more welcoming to O&G development.

Then you look at drilling offshore federal waters in FL, CA, etc. These states don't make a dime off the oil but a spill can crash their coastal tourist economy. That's why only four states allow offshore drilling, and those four states don't have much of a coastal tourist business.

Because those tourists don’t want electricity or heat. Right? And they’d never refill their cars in Colorado. Or fill those airplanes for the flight out. Right?

NIMBY’s should freeze in the dark.
