Again, special interests that align with your wants and needs, in keeping energy prices high for fossil fuels so that green energy alternatives remain viable. There is more than one stakeholder with more than one viewpoint.

Did you read that public land is leased out to oil and gas companies for about $2 an acre a year?

You really the $2 an acre a year is keeping fossil fuel high?

$49.04 a barrel of crude is high? And it's because a small portion of public land is being used for Nation Parks and Monuments?

Maybe the greediest administration of all times.

No, the administration gains nothing from it. What the administration wants to do is to reverse prior national monument creations that had no purpose other than to keep the land being used for the things they were being used for.

I don't which Mounuments those are but I did enjoy Glacier National Park in the late 1950s and I did enjoy a snowmobiel vacation at Yellowstone National Park in the winter time in late 1970s or early 1980s.

I have enjoyed many National Parks and Monuments in the continental US.

Oh the Arctic Wildlife Refuge in Alaska.

I thought it might be an Alaskan Monument.

Two of my maternal aunts took a hunting/salmon fishing trip to Alaska in the mid 60s.
Soon after the 64 earthquake. They had photos of some photos of the damages roads

They drove the pick up camper from Washington State to Alaska . They had a very enjoyable time and they had some of the salmon they caught smoked and canned so they could share some with us. It was the best canned smoked salmon I ever ate.

Yep and that brought back some nice memories of my teen years.

My aunts were twins and they loved going hunting or fishing when they got together.
