       Although some bureaucratic hurdles remain, a lease sale brings #fracking to the #forest for the first time – the subject of political effort since at least 2016 [since #Trump’s first term] – far closer to fruition, giving specific #corporations legal rights to the #land & #minerals beneath it.#law #EnvironmentalLaw #FossilFuels #LandConservation #wildlife #ecosystems #FederalGovernment #Ohio #WayneNationalForest #NationalForest #oil #gas #ClimateChange

       The announcement comes as the #Trump admin has aggressively pursued opening #PublicLands to the #energy industry. This includes shrinking #NationalMonuments in #Utah, which would allow for #oil & #gas development, & reportedly pursuing the same in #Alaska, all while rolling back rules around bond requirements, public comments & procedural timelines around those lease sales.#law #EnvironmentalLaw #FossilFuels #conservation #forests #wildlife #ecosystems #Ohio #WayneNationalForest #ClimateChange
