I saw this headline, and my first thought was, Oh man -- this has got to be an attack on energy producing states, where companies are knocking it out of the park on private lands. Then, I read the article, and, yup: Biologists say a major problem is that prairie chickens fear tall structures, where predators such as hawks can perch and spot them. Wind turbines, electricity transmission towers and drilling rigs are generally the tallest objects on the plains . . . Oil companies have said potential new regulations would impede their operations and would cost them hundreds of millions of dollars in oil and gas development in one of the countrys most prolific basins, the Permian Basin in Texas and New Mexico. This Administration will boast of the boom in domestic energy production (which they have nothing to do with) while behind-the-scenes using their bureaucratic minions to kill jobs and impede economic recovery -- particularly in so-called red states.
