Alaska Gov. Sean Parnell (R) is slamming the Interior Departments designation of large Arctic regions as critical habitat for polar bears threatened by climate change, alleging the decision will slow oil-and-gas drilling.
The designation requires federal agencies to consult with Interiors U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service before allowing or funding actions that could harm the bears northern Alaskan habitat.
Such consultations are increasingly being misused to challenge responsible resource development, Parnell said in a prepared statement Wednesday. This additional layer of regulatory burden will not only slow job creation and economic growth here and for our nation, but will also slow oil and gas exploration efforts.

Absolutely NormsRevenge, we are the unwashed masses that don’t understand what is good for us. They are all knowing all powerful and have our best interest at hand.
It’s time to defund the bastages.
The only ‘Green’ they truly worship is currency and they gain it by exercising control of the financial resources that make the world go humm..
btw .. None Dare Call It Conspiracy or Treason. That’s kookpot stuff, yaknow.
Oh well.. you only live to pillage and plunder once..
Well, Duh!
Where is Palin on this?
Where are the new house and senate members?
Yeah, I know, they haven’t taken office yet. Facebook. Twitter. WSJ ads. There are a lot of ways to get attention w/out the MSM putting a camera in front of you. So far, I haven’t heard a peep from anyone and each day one more Jenga block gets pulled out.
Great idea - with one caveat -- one bear and report for each member of the team; not five reports on the same bear!
This could be fun.
Agree. If 15 or so Govs would take a strong stand more would come. It’s one thing to complain, another to actually do it. Our new gov is on record that he’d tell Obama to “go to hell” when feds overstep. Not holding my breath but am hoping so. (Of course, he’s got to deal with any number of in-state regulatory infestations that are every bit as bad as the fed agencies.)
