The Biden administration on Wednesday barred drilling and mining in a Colorado landscape known as the Thompson Divide, an area of mountaintops, foothills and valleys in the center of the state.
The administration said it would bar drilling and mining in 221,898 acres of the divide’s lands for 20 years as part of an effort to preserve it for the future.
“The Thompson Divide area is a treasured landscape, valued for its wildlife habitat, clean air and water, and abundant recreation, ecological and scenic values,” Interior Secretary Deb Haaland said in a written statement.
“The Biden-Harris administration is committed to ensuring that special places like these are protected for future generations,” Haaland added.

“...to preserve it for the future.”
Why? We’re supposed to be driving all electric cars in 20 years..................
the next time we get control of the presidency and both houses of congress we need to strip away the president’s power to do this or create national parks etc without congressional approval.
I am so tired of this king crap.
The democrats are determined to strangle the US. Both Clinton and Obama locked up huge oil, gas and coal fields while they were in office.
Has the Bidenskyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy “administration” declared the RAVI shipwreck site a National Park yet?
Meanwhile they despoil countless other landscapes with their gottverdammte windmills.
Gotta make all us peons totally dependent on a totalitarian government. The Demoncrats ... I mean Democrat’s ultimate goal ... no I actually mean Demoncrats
Drill, baby, drill.
I think the democrats want the oil so they hold the world hostage in the future ,LOL
Strip away the power of the federal government to give money to the states. Accepting that money is like selling your soul to the devil.
Biden could give a damn about the landscape it’s all about control of what you are allowed to have.
He and his party are hell bent on keeping you under their thumb.
The war on oil continues for the DNC. They will never understand why gas prices are so high.
The Left gains power by destroying domestic production, and making a country dependent on imports.
First, they economically destroy their domestic enemies in the goods and natural resources sector.
Second, international trade is regulated via the Administrative State. which they can manipulate to their advantage.
If you look at the energy, electricity and farm policies of the EU, that is exactly what they are doing.
SPR minor oil buy was cancelled...lol
Interesting pages of Biden underlings- positions/salaries 2022. But we can afford this!
