Recently, Bureau of Land Management Colorado State Director Helen Hankins has established a disturbing and dangerous trend in her approach to oil and gas leasing on public lands.
This new infographic illustrates how Dir. Hankins consistently proposes controversial drilling plans and then after public outcry, temporarily halts the leases – only to put the leases back on the auction block months later.
Proposing oil and gas leasing in the midst of Denver’s drinking water sources or next to Dinosaur National Monument doesn’t make sense, and it isn’t good for Colorado.
We need Colorado BLM and Dir. Hankins to change course and pursue a smart, balanced approach to energy development and public lands management that doesn’t put local economies and communities at risk.

It's ridiculous that Hankins and the Colorado BLM continue to propose such irresponsible leases. Drilling doesn't belong near reservoirs, just look at what is happening at Parachute Creek.
