"Look at the grouse."
Don’t get me wrong... I love birds. I like watching them, I even put out bird seed for them. However I also love eating them, at least those that have enough meat on their scrawny little bones to make their cooking worthwhile.

But oil fields are in effect large wildlife sanctuaries. There is work going on, but only in specific locations. The rest of the area is unmolested, and all kinds of wildlife make their homes there.
Of course, much of the ESA is in my opinion fraudulent. I had some dealings with a supposedly endangered rat that some years is so abundant you can’t drive down the road without them popping under your tires. I’ve seen supposedly endangered kit foxes living in town. ESA is just as the writer says, a legal tool for obstructing energy development.
In the end, the enviros are doing OPEC’s bidding. They’ll go around the world going into court in multiple countries trying to shut down energy projects in any and every country on earth except the ones in OPEC countries. Somehow, OPEC projects do not harm to Mother Nature, only the ones in non-OPEC countries. To shut them down they’ll organize tribal uprisings, go after European banks to shut off funding, whatever it takes where ever it takes. But never against OPEC.

It needs to be renamed the Saudi Arabian grouse or perhaps the Wahabbist Funding grouse.
