GOP bill would ban federal protections against drilling in national forests
By Josh Israel -August 3, 2021 11:08 AM
The Federal Land Freedom Act would give states full control over public lands they don't own.
Tens of millions of acres of federal public lands were already offered for oil and gas development by the Donald Trump administration. But if a group of Republican senators gets its way, the federal government will have no say at all in whether to allow future drilling and mining on many of the lands it owns.
North Dakota Sen. Kevin Cramer and Oklahoma Sen. Jim Inhofe announced Monday that they were introducing a bill to give states total control over energy development on federal lands located within their borders.
According to their press release, the Federal Land Freedom Act would "give each state the right to develop all of the energy resources on the federal lands located within that state’s borders," except for "tribal lands, national parks, units of the National Wildlife Refuge System, and congressionally designated wilderness areas."

Not going to happen, maybe these two dipshits who go around and take dark money and the run around making over $174,000 a year gaslighting the population .....one probably eats yellow snow, and the other one eats oil pitch balls in his drinking water...........
