A three-inch lizard that thrives in desert conditions could shut down oil and gas operations in portions of Southeast New Mexico and in West Texas, including the state's top two oil producing counties.

Beyond all that, what does the federal Gubermint have in regulating a man’s private property?
Nuttin’!
Agreed.
Obama can just get the fudge out of Texas.
We’re down here minding our own business.
H e wants to over-regulate our resources but hasn’t a kind word to say about all the devastating fires we’re suffering through!
Typical.....
Lizards are more important that peoples!
If the lizards are hunted and killed off, there will be no lizard problem
Only as a tool for leverage!
Our weather in central Texas is best described as a series of droughts separated by floods.
The current drought will get worse before it gets better and probably won't be broken until the next hurricane hits the Gulf. That has been the pattern here going back as long as there have been records kept.
Good description!
I don’t think you realize hwo powerful enviro groups are, the lizard is just the latest power grab. A mouse shuts down wheat farming in Colorado, a minnow shuts down vegetable growing in California, wolves and grizzlies shut down ranchers in the northern Rockies, wolves in the southern Rockies and in the Great Lakes eliminate ranchers. These are so called “non profits” with millions of dollars worth of assets, their own judges and absolutely NO accountability.
The question is how they got so much power and what we can do about it.
WOW. what is that a picture of?
Shoot, shovel and shut-up.
Well, maybe Oklahoma and Kansas could join you in the secession, but only if you Texans and the Okies let us teach you about controlled burns of prairie grass. We always get puzzled by the perpetual wildfires you folks to our south have. Spring (or even late winter) is the time to burn the prairie on purpose so you don’t have these problems later in the year.
I think I helped make the horny toad an endangered species when I lived with my Grandma as a kid. I didn’t kill them. They were pets. Not particularly cuddly pets. I sill love them. I let them be, now that I’m an adult.
Amen!
It certainly could! A 2 inch delta smelt destroyed the farming industry in California!
This crap didn’t start with o. Being from Oregon, I’ve seen these idiots at work for years. A bunch of fed government agencies filled with idiots that couldn’t poor pi$$ out of a boot and have never worked a real day in their life. All they have is book learning and no common sense. Many of them are lawyers. A few years ago at the Biscuit fire on the border between Oregon and California. They made the fighters pour Clorox in all the water they dumped on the fire from airplanes and helicopters. The reason was a possible fungus that might kill the Port Orford Ceders that were burning up in the forest fires. First they get the laws written to kill the jobs then they use the courts to enforce their desire to kill the jobs. Totally destroyed lumbering in my hometown of Glendale.
That is a picture of one of the west Texas fires.
I had them as pets, also, but I don’t think we are responsible for whats happened to them. I loved them growing up!
