One of the primary planks of Mitt Romney's energy plan is re-igniting a decades-old debate in the West about who should control access to fossil fuels on federal lands.
In a campaign speech in Hobbs, N.M., a few weeks ago, the GOP presidential nominee told the crowd, "I will set a national goal of North American independence by 2020. That means we produce all the energy we use in North America."
In addition to opening up new areas for offshore drilling, Romney says his energy independence goal can be accomplished by speeding up the time it takes to get permits to drill on federal lands. The way to do that, he says, is by putting state regulators in charge of the federal process just as they already are on state and private lands.

He's old enough to drive????Gotta love it, but Black Label still wants a windmill on his car
I can't find any Constitutional justification for the feds to own fully one third of the land in this country, so I don''t think just drilling decisions shoud be given to the states, the land should be returned to them so they can start collecting taxes on it. Would fix many of the states financial problems. Most are unaware but I think Utan is 60% owned by the feds.
