SandBoxBlogs: Delta County Independent "BLM’s preliminary EA disappoints oil and gas opponents in North Fork "
Ok, everyone. Please do not flood the email contact box with your views of 'Nanny' going off-topic on her related links within this post.
First, because she's the boss and if she wants to go off-topic, she can.
Second, there is a relevant point and reason for the wide spread of links. No, Bill Koch (to our current knowledge) is not going to be out there buying up all these leases at auction. (He probably should though, he does have momentum going and it's a worthwhile for all American energy independence if he does. Besides, the North Fork enviro groups couldn't like him any less than they already do, now could they? Sheesh. And they've probably never even met the guy in person.) There are dozens of links to specific to these leases stories she could have chosen. So, google away on your own to find those.
That point is that it doesn't matter who it is. Doesn't matter how environmentally conscious these drilling companies are. Doesn't mean a thing how much vetting and regulatory guidelines are put on to their drilling activities.
These kinds of enviro 'terrorist' tactics and groups are going to believe what they wish to believe, could care less what the facts really are and have already made up their minds. All they can hope to do is get in front of microphones and cameras. Without a thought or care for who they hurt during their 5 minutes of fame.
A special thank you goes out to the BLM. SandBox is sure you'll handle the sale of these leases in a conscientious manner.

"If the expectation was that following the initial comment period, BLM would remove all or most of the parcels from its oil and gas lease auction in August, it was dashed last Wednesday with the release of the BLM's preliminary Environment Assessment.
The BLM intends to go ahead with the August auction.
Parcels in municipal watersheds or bordering schools and homes appear to be intact. Some parcels have been trimmed and one was removed.
"The only realistic way to stop oil and gas development now is through litigation," said one disappointed North Fork Valley resident. However, both BLM and Citizens for a Healthy Committee are urging the public to send more comments...." (Read more? Click title)

SandBoxBlogs: Glenwood Springs Post Independent/Your Letters "Thompson Divide drilling wouldn't be all bad"
'SandBox Nanny' will just set aside still yet another letter written in commending the Garfield County BOCC for denying the alleged 'people killer' asphalt plant next to the 'organic farm that was never "in danger" in the first place' by stating again that Commissioner Mike Samson was right and both Martin and Jankovsky were shamelessly courting voters.
And instead toss up a letter from Stuart Cerise in Carbondale. His words of calm in a purposefully inflamed disinformation war over Thompson Divide make sense. Click title, it's a good read.
"A couple comments on Joe Mollica's letter of March 3. As someone who has recreated and worked in the Thompson Creek, Four Mile and Divide Creek area for more than 50 years, I concur that is a great area to do such in.
I do remember gas drilling and logging activity in the area many years ago, as well as loud gas-driven compressor stations, pipeline installations and all the related activity. Those drillers and loggers created trails and improved the old roads to a passable status. They harvested timber, reduced overgrowth, created trails for deer, elk and the cattle who summer there.
Yes, there were problems, but they were usually related to specific issues such as meeting a truck in a narrow section of roadway and each harping that the other was on the wrong side of the road. Everyone got along pretty well, and the entire area benefited from it...."
