Today BLM announced it's next steps for oil shale development in the West.

Today the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) released a new draft Programmatic Environmental Impact Statement (PEIS) taking a new, harder look at development of oil shale and tar sands in Colorado, Utah and Wyoming. The agency’s preferred alternative is a substantial improvement over their 2008 decision to open nearly 2 million acres of public lands to oil shale and tar sands development.
