Yes I believe fracking prohibition was a factor behind Obama’s decision to unleash the BLM dogs.

Last week I heard directly a top manager of one of the USA’s biggest pipeline operators in the Bakken say that environmentalists told Obama that if he allowed Keystone to go forward that they would ‘crucify’ him. What they meant by that is anybody’s guess but one can speculate that it means to drop his protection from investigations, lawsuits, impeachment etc.

The environmentalists in California are militant about fracking there. It’s not a stretch for them to look at having BLM close off huge sections of lands for a desert tortoise or some contrived pretext especially when such lands are available for oil and gas leases involving fracking.

So yes it is not only plausible but actually probable.

I don’t buy the fracking angle on this story. I’ve seen fracking in PA and I am sure the methods are not much different anywhere else. First, the impact comes from drilling and that does not take up more than an acre of of land (less roads to get to the pad). Second, fracking is an extraction technique that does not require additional space than the existing well head. What is one acre in a section of land? Particularly when hundreds of sections of land are involved?

A compromise has been reached. The cattle agree to stop stepping on the turtles if the turtles stop whining about being endangered.

Successful Drilling has been done in the ‘hood.

Negligible possibility of oil and gas. It’s all about the solar farm Benjamins.

OK they lost me the moment I read Fracking Lease, no such critter exists.
