Public lands should be conserved, not leased to the highest fossil fuel bidder. That’s not the way things are going now.
The Department of Interior is poised to lease public lands to fossil fuel companies. If the lease sale isn’t canceled, it’s very likely that fracking or other oil and gas drilling will be coming to North Dakota.
Our planet can’t afford more greenhouse gas emissions. Our communities cannot afford more pollution just to line the pockets of a fossil fuel executive. This lease sale must be canceled.
