A three-inch lizard that thrives in desert conditions could shut down oil and gas operations in portions of Southeast New Mexico and in West Texas, including the state's top two oil producing counties.

These asswipes are treading on the wrong turf.
I find it interesting that there are people out there that are willing to destroy America’s way of life for a lizard, a bug, a frog, a fish, etc. These people need to be put in a loony bin for the rest of their lives.
The only hope any of us have, including the people of West Texas, is that we can survive until obastard and his band of enviro-wack-jobs leave. obastard is like the Wicked Witch of the West and the wack-jobs that follow him are like the monkey trolls who mindlessly do his bidding to destroy the country.
I am consumed with the most virulent strain of contempt for the obastard vermin gang.
These stupid lizards were ubiquitous when I worked in the Permian Basin. So were rattlesnakes and scorpions. The cotton farmers in the Robertson Unit were lucky to have oil revenues ‘cause it wasn’t much count for farming.
They’re found in many states....which means they adapt. Get rid of these enviro nazis....
They can all freeze in the friggin dark for all I care.
The oil was there, LONG before the lizard was.
Drill baby drill!!!!!!!
People. in Roswell, Artesia and Hobbs could care less we need to drill and employ people...............plus I don’t know about this specific lizard but I have so darn many lizards on my property, they are like grass hoppers in Indiana.
There’s a 6 foot lizard in D.C. who’s out to destroy an entire country.
You obviously don't understand ZERO was elected President to do one main thing: Hurt and Destroy everything American that he can:
1. Illegally stopped drilling for oil in the Gulf of Mexico
2. Spends money at a rate that threatens America
3. Wants open borders to destroy American communities
4. Wants Muslims in Power to destroy Isael and Ultimately the US.
On Point 4, you probably don't understand the only thing that makes sense why American military forces are trying to HELP AL QAEDA gain power in Libya.
Does it help that Egypt has the Muslim Brotherhood?
Obama laughs at America and Europe, imagine, using the military to put in power those who are committed to destroying the infidels.
It is kind of cute. Maybe they should sell them in pet stores. If there were a market for these things, there would be millions of them. ;-)
I think you're confusing him with a snake.
Environazis have tried for years to end Rattlesnake Round Ups too - destroying their habitat, murdering them will eventually end the rattlesnakes..... uh, yeah that hasn't happened. The lizards will survive.
These stupid lizards were ubiquitous when I worked in the Permian Basin.
Same here when I worked out there.
Then, some dumbass told a couple of Texas Aggies they tasted like carp when slow cooked over
an engine manifold, and their numbers have been dropping like a rock ever since.
On a similar topic, do you remember this little b*stard, the Concho River Water Snake, and how
it shut things down around San Angelo?
They should all be deported to a place where they will find out what happens to people who attempt this kind of insanity to undermine a truly oppressive country.
Somebody needs to take a moment to prove this lizard is NOT unique or endangered.
This scam has gone on for far too long!
How about our Texas Horned Toad? Their main diet is harvester ants and the population of harvester ants has been demolished by our fire ant population.
They can use that lizard for an excuse to shut down oil, but it is weak at best. Our ‘endangered’ horned toad could use some help. Wipe out fire ants. If they can’t help the horned toad, they need to bow out of this artificially trumped up maneuver to deprive us of our fossil energy.
Jackasses.
“There’s a 6 foot lizard in D.C. who’s out to destroy an entire country.”
Luv it...best line so far!
We should probably wait until we get the fire situation under control.
Texas Governor Perry asks President Obama for federal assistance to fight fires
I have wondered for years just what the tipping point would be that would cause a fundamental revolt against everything like this (be it ‘green’, gender, racial, class warfare, islam or you name it). Ten years ago I thought 9/11 would do it, but couldn’t have been more wrong. In this age of sovereign budgetary stress my hope is that all these whackos, unable to squeeze more out of us, will begin to cannibalize each other. God willing, the increasingly fewer productive folks among us still be able to shut this down and return to a time where common sense and national self-interest prevail.
