Bad news for BLM, just got worse.

The timing is concerning when viewed in concert with the Presidents trip to China- I have read there is to be a discussion about a $1 Trillion trade deal enabling Chinese building US based factories.

I wonder where they’ll put em?
 
Curious what you're reading that says that? Is that the rescission of the Public Lands Rule? The BLM is still required to manage for multiple use and conservation is a 'use.' We'll see how this admin and Pearce interpret that...
 
Bringing the Big Guns

Trump is traveling with some of the premier tech businessmen on the planet to meet with Xi. I suspect AI/data needs may be discussed at some point.
China doesn’t want to build plants here. They may say they do, even promise. The promise is what Trump wants. He can sell it to the public like it’s real money. China wants our tech companies to be able to sell them the latest chips and tech. They have reengineered our stuff for a long time. Some say it is stealing.
 
News this morning says BLM will not consider "Conservation" in planning...WTF?
Made worse a wile later with Drumpf nominating Steve Pearce for BLM head. The guy is the worst. Never met a mess he did not like.
Will affect over 13 mil. acres in NM alone.
We all know how the problem can be fixed. :unsure:
 
This basically means things are going back to the way they were two years ago (ish). I'd be curious if any of the provisions in it were ever implemented (specifically conservation leasing). The rule enjoyed vast public support, but Republicans didn't like it. I see this more as another blow to the public process rather than conservation.

A quick search confirms there was no BLM leases for conservation. Directly, not a big change. But it does further the move toward unitary executive theory. Decisions are not made to maximize value, Monetary or otherwise. They are made because the party/president wants to favor one thing over another. In another example the FDA is reviewing approvals for some drugs and vaccines previously approved. This is dangerous and increases the buying of politicians and political favors.
