OK this seems real strange, China is building a Island to put weapons on that will get them closer to their enemies, the Middle East is as bad as ever, Gas is rising again ( well of course summer vacations are here ) The Country is just in Sad shape to say the least, but we have a plan to save some birds :eek: I agree we need to preserve our wild life but I see many things more important than Grouse out west.
And in doing this it will effect oil drilling in area's where these birds are, so yes our Gas prices are rising, Baltimore ( and other American cities) are burning, but the birds will be safe.
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.
