Wyoming has spent $7.9 million on sage grouse conservation since 2005. That was the finding of a new report by the Western Governors Association, which inventoried the efforts of 11 western states to protect the bird and its habitat.
The report comes in advance of an expected 2015 ruling by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service over whether to add the species to the endangered species list. The sage grouse's listing could curtail energy development throughout the West.

Utah, by comparison, spent $8.8 million on improvements to sage grouse habitat in 2013 alone.

Morning Energy Roundup: Wyo spent $7.9 million on sage grouse conservation, Barrasso on LNG exports and more
I've politely mentioned the downside to this colossal fascist land grab, not least of which is the complete collapse of private property rights.
They don't care. Most are recently straight out of college, have never owned property, believe in man-made global warming, and support the Marxist green agenda.
Truly useful idiots, and they seem to be totally unaware of that term.
These silly - low information - fools are in for a huge shock.
Ummm grouse, tasty.
Can you imagine how many sage grouse Tyson could raise & let go for $7.9 million?
How about the fact that species determination is wholly arbitrary?
Spot on.
"Look at the grouse."
The thieving lefties do not care about facts nor logic.
Plus Utah spent $8.8 million in 2013 .
Could have raised many birds.
how much of the $7.9 million was spent on salaries and how much was actually spent on the grouse?
