BLM Proposing Making Much of Local Acreage Off Limits to Oil, Gas Leasing

The Bureau of Land Management is proposing closing nearly a million acres under the jurisdiction of its Grand Junction Field Office to future oil and gas leasing, and 568,300 acres managed by the Colorado River Valley Field Office based in Silt.

The agency, acting following legal challenges by environmental groups, released a proposal for sharp reductions in acreage that would be available for leasing under the resource management plans for the two offices. Much of the acreage those offices manage would be off-limits to future leasing under its proposal, which is the opposite of the case now.

The preferred alternative identified by the BLM would leave 143,000 acres in the Colorado River Valley Field Office and 239,000 acres in the Grand Junction Field Office open to future oil and gas leasing.

The proposal would close to future leasing areas with no known, low and moderate oil and gas development potential. It would keep 93% of the high oil and gas development potential areas open to leasing in the Colorado River office and 44% of the high-potential areas in the Grand Junction office.

California High Court Says County Can’t Enforce Oil Well Ban as State Debates Future of Fossil Fuels

The California Supreme Court ruled Thursday that Monterey County cannot enforce a voter-approved ban on new oil and gas wells, a decision that comes amid an ongoing battle over how the state should address the health and climate impacts of fossil fuel extraction.

The ruling comes a day after environmental advocates announced a plan to try to enshrine a state law banning new gas and oil wells near homes, schools and hospitals as the oil industry vies for voters to overturn it. Voters could face dueling measures on the November 2024 ballot.

The court’s decision dealt a blow to local advocates, who have been fighting for years to change the practices of the oil industry. Voters in the county first approved the ban in 2016, shortly after which Chevron sued. The state Supreme Court said the state, not the county, has the authority to regulate certain methods of oil production that would have been banned by the measure.

Plus the importance of slowing down and not overreacting to the changes is emphasized, as most day-to-day activities remain the same.

The interview also highlights the significance of vacations in clearing the mind and refocusing.

The two discuss the importance of purging unnecessary emails and reducing clutter to maintain clarity of thought. They express frustration with excessive emails and newsletters from their kids’ school and discuss the need for schools to streamline their communication methods.
