    Thumbs up Trump Administration to Auction Off 900,000 Acres for Fracking in Nevada

    The Trump administration plans to auction more than 900,000 acres for oil and gas extraction on the doorstep of Nevada’s only national park and other protected public lands. It would be the largest single lease sale of public lands in the lower 48 states in at least a decade.

    The Bureau of Land Management lease sale, scheduled for March 12, 2019, will auction off public land next to Great Basin National Park and Ruby Lakes National Wildlife Refuge, an internationally known migratory waterfowl stopover cherished by birders and hunters.

    Lease. Bah - call me when they're selling it properly.

    Can you imagine the heads of the left exploding if he did that?

    It would be best if he gave it to the state but this is an improvement.

    Very disappointed in Trump with this. I expected better from him, to protect our 2nd amendment birding and hunting rights.

    I will be writing a very stern letter to the NRA to see what they can do to help.
    It's all about taking action and not being lazy. So you do the work, whether it's fitness or whatever. It's about getting up, motivating yourself and just doing it.

    I dislike how fracking companies don't have to list what chemicals they use as that is an allowed trade secret. I doubt the frackers can prove their chemicals won't spread outside of the land they use so unknown pollution will occur.

    Michigan is finding a variety of water containing PFAS decades after the chemicals entered the environment, I can only assume this is a nationwide problem.

    And the winner is....

    China! (but because of no-go land plans per Agenda 21 you'll never see it)

    Oh wait, did I jump ahead of the script?



    Here's a pertinent question. How does a corporation that is based in the sovereign city of Washington DC lay claim to 900k acres of land in the foreign State of Nevada, in order to sell it to the highest bidder?

They have never yet and they never will have the sense to reflect that this hobby-horse is a manifest violation of the most important law of nature, which has established from the very creation of the world one unit unlike another and precisely for the purpose of instituting individuality."- A Quote From Some Old Book
