We're drowning in debt....save the Sage Grouse!!

Publisher’s note:  I really believe that POTUS must have some sort of standing orders in the WH to bring him a daily dose of nonsense that he can choose from to twist into his destructive agenda.  

At a time when we are, among other things, near financial ruin and in desperate need of being energy independent, they found another critter to save that prevents the tapping of our resources.  

I guess it’s understandable though.  I cannot remember the last time I was at a social gathering when the plight of the Greater Sage Grouse wasn’t on everyone’s mind.  

Give me a break!

Fox News:  The Obama administration disclosed plans Thursday to preserve the habitat of the imperiled greater sage grouse in 10 Western states that would include placing limits on oil and natural gas drilling.

The proposal would be the federal government's biggest land-planning effort to date for conservation of a single species. The regulations would require oil and gas wells to be clustered in groups of a half-dozen or more to avoid scattering them across habitat of the greater sage grouse. 

Drilling near breeding areas would be prohibited during mating season, and power lines would be moved away from prime habitat to avoid serving as perches for raptors that eat sage grouse.

The new measures would apply to federal lands in California, Colorado, Idaho, Montana, Nevada, North Dakota, Oregon, South Dakota, Utah and Wyoming.
