BLM

In a small corner of Wyoming, an 11-year-old's weekend hobby turned into a jaw-dropping piece of history—a turtle shell from 48 million years ago.

This winter, Wyoming families are in for a treat with just a dollar for firewood and Christmas trees — a real gift from the government.

With the potential for over 440 million tons of coal, excitement and concern blend as Wyoming eyes new energy opportunities and the impact on local jobs and the environment.

The Bureau of Land Management is seeking public input on a proposal for exploration drilling in Fremont County. If approved, Rush Uranium Wyoming, LLC could drill up to 232 holes looking for uranium and construct associated infrastructure on public, state, and private lands approximately 15 miles northeast of Shoshoni...

The post says that if typical Wyoming winds had been blowing, the result could have been "catastrophic."

The BLM is attempting to take control of federal lands to the point that they alone would be allowed to decide how it is used, or if it is used at all.

Not one single proponent of the concept appeared to testify in favor, though they were invited.

Gov. Mark Gordon said he's convicted that any future land exchanges involving the BLM will follow the proper process.

Gordon: "Wildlife management is the responsibility and squarely within the authority and purview of the states – not the federal Government.”
