Bolstered by scuttled Utah lease sale, activists target planned Colo, drilling

摘要

Last month, the Bureau of Land Management pulled the plug on its fall oil and natural gas lease sale for Utah after the state's wildlife protection agency said BLM needed to further analyze the effects of energy production on animal habitats.rnThis was the first such cancellation in 20 years, and the first ever based only on wildlife issues. Now, activists in Colorado are hoping for a similar outcome for the November 8 sale that BLM has scheduled for land in their state.
