Sally Jewell, the U.S. interior secretary, just cancelled leases to drill for natural gas on federal land in Colorado, in a last-ditch effort to stop an energy boom bigger than Bakken Shale discovery in North Dakota.
Jewells Bureau of Land Management claimed that the 25 Mancos energy drilling leases now being cancelled were just a non-performing portion of 65 leases on lands managed by the White River National Forest and amount to less than ½ of 1 percent of the active leases on public lands in the state of Colorado.
But the 25 properties were non-performing only because they have been tangled in red-tape since President Barack Obama took office in 2009, even though they were leased in 2005 during George W. Bushs administration.
The BLM manages nearly 700 million acres of federal lands in the United States. Because of tight restrictions, the onshore oil and gas wells on BLM lands accounts for just 11 percent of the natural gas supply and five percent of the oil supply in the United States.

It was never totally clear to me how Saudi leadership was involved in the attacks, although carried out by Saudi citizens. Was there some nodding and winking going on? Was it incompetence? If a group of wildcats from the USA went over to Saudi Arabia and bombed Mecca, would that mean Donald Trump was to blame?
Can’t imagine why juries won’t convict people who act-up against THIS agency......./s
You’re right - January 20th can’t arrive soon enough.
This nation should enact policies that make us energy exporters by flooding the world market with petroleum.
Not only will that create good jobs for Americans, but it will cause great damage to the Islamic Petrostates that take our money and export it back to us in the form of terrorism.
Want to make a big dent in Islamic terror? Drill, baby, drill.
Even pot rights aficionados like to do it in a gas heated home. And it’s not any clearer that if Colorado had gone for Donald, the Obama administration would be any kinder to them.
Unsealed Obama’s records and let the purifying rays of sunshine commence.
When sheiks stop buying luxury goods and start buying bombs... we know we are now in trouble.
“But the 25 properties were non-performing only because they have been tangled in red-tape since President Barack Obama took office in 2009, even though they were leased in 2005 during George W. Bushs administration.”
BS
They were non performing because they weren’t drilled. They were permitted in 2005, with 3 more years of Bush and they didn’t drill.
Then they didn’t drill because the price of oil sank in 2008 and didn’t get back up til 2011-12. Then oil price fell again starting mid 2014.
These leases were not drilled and thus are non performing and they weren’t drilled because it is/was unprofitable to do so.
If there’s anything worth learning from last Tuesday it is the dangers of believing your own propaganda. It didn’t drill because it would lose millions to drill. Not because some evil left winger prevented it.
did you not read any of the reports that came out about the missing 19 pages? and frankly I think it’s absurd for anybody to think Saudi Arabia didn’t know about this and didn’t fund it.
>>Drill, baby, drill.
The #pizzagate Ping-Pong crowd appears to have an entirely different take on that suggestion.

DRAIN THE SWAMP.
Trump should just return 90% of Federal lands to the private sector and states, and be done with this once and for all.
“The BLM manages nearly 700 million acres of federal lands in the United States. Because of tight restrictions, the onshore oil and gas wells on BLM lands accounts for just 11 percent of the natural gas supply and five percent of the oil supply in the United States.”
I think we’ve found the problem. First of all, take away ALL of the BLM’s guns. If for some reason, they have a problem where weapons are needed, there’s the US Marshals Service. Second, freeze hiring there, Third, start early retirements. Lastly, put all the ammunition they have purchased up to public auction. (Actually this should be done for all agencies that are not basic Law Enforcement where there are firearms)
I'm sure there are copies of these files on a pdf. Just hit "print" on the afternoon of 1/20/2017.
“The reports” asserted such a conspiracy?
That would be an exceeding dangerous thing for official S.A. to do. Exceeding dangerous. People bribed to look the other way from suspicious activities, I could believe.
If they had to smoke natural gas, they’d be apoplectic.
Maybe the bureau could be downsized or dissolved.
President stompey foot sees his image fade to abject nothingness.
Never to be remembered for anything other than a racist half breed nare do well dim bulb who did nothing but harm.
LMAO!!! Tear up everything you community organizing idiot!!! It’s like the last day of Hitler in Berlin...burn everything!
Well-poisonings next...
