Industry Nail-biting Over BLM Oil & Gas
Lease Review
LANDER - Announcement of a “comprehensive review” of oil and gas leasing on federal lands has aroused curiosity among many in Wyoming. U.S. Interior Secretary Ken Salazar said a month ago that the onshore energy development program will be getting a top-to-bottom examination. Since then, oil and gas trade groups have called the move unfair, and conservation and sporting groups say they’re hoping for a better balance between wildlife protection and energy development.
Wyoming Range outfitter Gary Amerine says he expects the value of land beyond its energy potential - whether that be oil and gas, or wind and solar - will be factored back into land use decisions.
“Balance is the key to this whole process. We can’t just develop, develop, develop and not look at the impacts to other resources.”
