Breitbart CA: Sally Jewell, the U.S. interior secretary, just cancelled leases to drill for natural gas on federal land in Colorado, in a last-ditch effort to stop an energy boom bigger than Bakken Shale discovery in North Dakota.
Jewell’s Bureau of Land Management claimed that the 25 “Mancos” energy drilling leases now being cancelled were just a non-performing portion of 65 leases on “lands managed by the White River National Forest” and “amount to less than ½ of 1 percent of the active leases on public lands in the state of Colorado.”
But the 25 properties were “non-performing” only because they have been tangled in red-tape since President Barack Obama took office in 2009, even though they were leased in 2005 during George W. Bush’s administration. read more
It’s an act of futility. This will just give everyone an excuse to lay about over the holidays, knowing these permits will be restored in the third week of January, 17.

I’d like to watch as Sarah Palin walks into her new office shakes hands with the outgoing Secretary with one hand while she signs the new leases with the other.
Petulant Prick. All those who voted for him twice…how’s that working for you NOW? Still proud as piss over your first half-black poofter?
His congratulatory gesture to CO for voting Helliar.
At Trumps inauguration he needs to turn to obama and do the snake hand gesture and tell him ‘ your fired’!!!’
I wasn’t aware that Colorado was a territory, or that we had forts in Colorado. If the land in question doesn’t fall into one of those two categories, the Fed’s have no right to it–it should be turned over to the State of Colorado and they can decide if they want to allow exploration.

10 Sq. Mi. for D.C. PORTS & FORTS.
That is all…
I hope President Trump is keeping of list of decisions to reverse and people to fire.
