Greenie Hypocrisy Exposed in California

Isn't this nice? In a secret deal an oil company agreed to pay several

lobby for drilling off the coast of Santa Barbara. The deal also
included 3,900 acres donated to the Trust for Public Lands. Sheesh....

IDAHO:

Greenies again target OHV users with yet another lawsuit in Idaho. No
amount of closures made by the U.S. Forest Service seems to satisfy
Idaho's "conservation community." Their latest lawsuit is against the
new travel plan on the Salmon-Challis National Forest. This makes two
ongoing lawsuits in Idaho against new travel plans, travel plans that
CLOSED trails, I might ad. Rhetorical question of the day: will there
ever be enough closures to satisfy these people?

In somewhat related
news, we have an object lesson from Virginia on what happens when the
greenies get their way on FS travel plans. Lawsuit after lawsuit ends
up concentrating OHV into teeny tiny trail systems, thereby actually
INCREASING environmental damage. Naturally, there's only one solution
for that.... close it all.
