Another Bush beat down on public lands

“Drilling Push

The Bush administration issued new policies Thursday to reduce or eliminate what it says are impediments to leasing federal lands overseen by the Bureau of Land Management that could be ripe for oil and natural gas drilling.

The focus areas subject to the new policies are:
Montana Thrust Belt in northwestern Montana near Glacier National Park.
Powder River Basin in northeastern Wyoming.
Green River Basin in southwestern Wyoming.
Piceance Basin in northwestern Colorado.
Uinta Basin in northeastern Utah.
Ferron Coal Trend Basin in central Utah.
San Juan Basin in northwestern New Mexico.
