Utah Oil Drilling Given the Thumbs Up by Bureau of Land Management

0

Conservationists and environmentalists are appalled at the decision by the Bureau of Land Management to allow oil drilling in Utah’s Desolation Canyon. The area is part of a pristine historic site, well known for its beauty and water rafting.

This arm of the government is supposed to protect the land and not allow exploitation of its natural resources. Unfortunately, the people that are running it in Utah are very pro oil and natural gas drilling and have been involved in a number of battles to get property and drilling rights. This seems to be another conservative versus liberal concept as the Bush Administration wanted to open up the doors for an oil drill on every doorstep and the Obama Administration has been fighting to stop it.
