This past week I attend an oil shale conference. There were people from all over the country–big wigs from political backgrounds and then us. The topic was strategy, and questions included how do we slow down oil shale, and stop the wanton leasing of public lands?
All of the politicos from DC and Denver were stressing the importance of litigation and legislation, for good reason. But ultimately, for any elected official to stand up for us, it all came back to the same thing–the importance of WCC, our memebers, and the necessity for THE PUBLIC TO ACT!!
Even though the comment period is over for Draft Programmatic Environmental Impact Statement, you can still make a difference. Urge your State Reps and Senators to support the continuation of the funding limitation for an oil shale leasing program. You can call Trudy Kareus at Sen. Ken Salazar’s Grand Junction office at (970) 241-6631, Andy Treharne at Sen. Wayne Allard’s office at (970) 245-9553 or Governor Ritter’s office in Denver at (303) 866-2471.
