<<Interviews with federal land managers and a review of government maps and geological reports by The Times, however, offer a contrasting picture. They show that oil and gas companies are leasing increasing amounts of public land every year, are able to drill in recently established national monuments and continue to operate even where they are subject to environmental regulations.>>

Public land has been "leased" for years starting with the cattle ranchers. The mining industry leases public land, the timber companies lease public land. I am sure there are more industries that lease public lands.

You seem to have it out for the energy industry?
