Washington, D.C.–(ENEWSPF)–August 7, 2013. The rapid expansion of oil and gas production in the United States is bringing tens of thousands of new wells and well pads to America’s public lands, pushing drill rigs into local communities, prized hunting habitat, national parks, and watersheds that provide drinking water. A report released today by the Equal Ground campaign outlines how public support and the sustainability of America’s energy future depends upon whether the Obama administration can guide drilling to the right areas, deliver a fair return to taxpayers and local communities, and put the protection of public lands for future generations on equal ground with drilling.
