Scumbria - Re:"The solution to California's electricity generation shortage is to disrupt wildlife in the Arctic." Drilling and mining ALL the National Lands works very well for Bush. Does anyone remember who Cheney -- the leader of this project -- worked for the past few years? usatoday.com 04/04/2001 - Updated 10:27 PM ET Interior Dept. plan would open lands for drilling By Tom Kenworthy, USA TODAY Millions of acres of federal land that contain protected wildlife and scenery would be opened for oil and gas drilling under a plan being finalized by the Interior Department. The draft recommendations, obtained by USA TODAY, are contained in a report being prepared for a Bush administration task force, chaired by Vice President Cheney, that is developing a national energy policy. They offer the first details of how the administration might implement President Bush's repeated pledge to expand domestic energy development with more aggressive drilling on federal lands. Bush and Interior Secretary Gale Norton have argued that modern technology makes possible greatly expanded oil and gas drilling on federal lands without environmental damage. The centerpiece of that effort is winning congressional approval for drilling in Alaska's Arctic National Wildlife Refuge. Some Interior officials also have proposed consolidating power over energy exploration decisions on federal land within Norton's office and the Bureau of Land Management, an agency that historically has supported mining, grazing and other commercial activities. That change would strip other agencies such as the Forest Service of their power to limit drilling.
