Buckwheat Closes Oil Fields In West

The Interior Department on Friday issued a final plan to close 1.6 million acres of federal land in the West originally slated for oil shale development.

The proposed plan would fence off a majority of the initial blueprint laid out in the final days of the George W. Bush administration. It faces a 30-day protest period and a 60-day process to ensure it is consistent with local and state policies. After that, the department would render a decision for implementation.

The move is sure to rankle Republicans, who say President Obama’s grip on fossil fuel drilling in federal lands is too tight.

Do any of them look at the gas lines and rationing in the wake of Hurricane Sandy and maybe think, that could be somewhere near the new norm, if the Obama Administration is left to their own devices? Doubt it.

Oh they have already been trained to get in line. The only problem is up till now the line was for free stuff.
