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.
Jewell’s 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. Bush’s 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.

Scorched earth?
Trump has a roll of tape I’m sure.
They know it’s vain, that it’s a Kabuki dance.
Maybe that’s the point, although it’s only going to make Donald Trump’s welcome mat that much more plush.
Silly Jewel rather.
How yinz enjoying that Hillary vote NOW, Colorado?
Gee,that’s the kind of thing that can be fixed by Noon (Eastern) of 1/21/17.
His chums Saudi Arabia and the UAE demanded it. Multiple wars, assassinations, thousands of dead Americans, high gas prices, madrassas in Virginia - we can’t help our Wahabbist Saudi friends enough.
Children acting like children.
Bureau of Land Management falls under Sarah Palin’s Department of the Interior. Things are about to get fixed.
Wow. If any of those Colorado electors could’ve been tempted by the nevertrump treason, this should put an end to that.
Sore, sore losers. Dig your political graves for decades hence if you must, sore losers. You have nothing to offer America, but only your vain gods, sore losers.
Just send another copy to the Laserjet on Jan 20.
“How yinz enjoying that Hillary vote NOW, Colorado?”
If it wouldn’t affect the rest of the country Trump should leave them torn up.
This Obama temper tantrum will be rectified. Hopefully, Trump will leave him with nothing undone.
those **** still have to answer for 9/11. I will never forget and I want vengeance
Sally: (Canceled)
Donald: (Un-Canceled)
It’s going to be that easy, even if Congress has to pass a bill backing it.
Prosecute treason.
They have all the drugs they can smoke, so they are enjoying it just fine.
But it will affect all of America, of course.
