Interesting story in re tribes.
Currently there are only about 200 CBM wells in Montana, largely due to Greenie pressure and EPA/BLM footdragging. Williams Energy bought Barrett Resources about six months ago for about 5 billion. Prior to the sale, Barrett, in partnership with Western Gas Resources, had approximately 1 million acres under lease.
On tuesday, I emailed Taylor's campaign in Montana an article in Denver' Rocky Mountain News. The title was "Bill Barrett makes MAJOR deal with the CROW Indian tribe, providing for Barrett's development of some 250,000 acres of Crow land in Montana.
What a coup. Barrett, in one fell swoop, gets to skirt ALL EPA/BLM and Greenie protests, because Tribal Lands are treated as a sovereign nation. Kind of a huge middle finger to all those obstructionist organizations. What a hoot.
