Bureau of Land Management menjadwalkan penjualan besar hak sewa minyak di Colorado

Bureau of Land Management akan menawarkan lebih dari 100 petak lahan seluas total 156.000 ekar di barat laut Colorado untuk penyewaan minyak dan gas pada 16 Juni. Penjualan ini merupakan penawaran terbesar di negara bagian tersebut dalam sejarah modern dan mencakup habitat satwa liar yang krusial.

Petak-petak tersebut mencakup koridor migrasi bagi kijang, pronghorn, dan rusa bagal yang membentang hingga ke Wyoming bagian selatan. Sebagian besar lahan tersebut terletak di Moffat County dekat Dinosaur National Monument, sebuah area yang bersertifikat karena langit malamnya yang gelap. Direktur pariwisata daerah, Tom Kleinschnitz, menyatakan kekhawatiran bahwa aktivitas ekstraksi dapat membahayakan status langit gelap monumen tersebut. Ia menyatakan bahwa melestarikan area-area ini agar tetap murni tetap penting untuk jangka panjang. Penjualan bulan Juni ini menyusul undang-undang tahun 2025 yang ditandatangani oleh Presiden Donald Trump yang mewajibkan setidaknya empat penjualan sewa setiap tahun di beberapa negara bagian barat. Hal ini kontras dengan hanya enam penjualan yang mencakup beberapa ratus ekar yang ditawarkan di Colorado selama masa jabatan Presiden Joe Biden. Kelompok konservasi telah mengajukan keberatan atas potensi dampak terhadap spesies yang terancam punah dan kualitas udara. Bureau of Land Management mengindikasikan akan melakukan analisis tambahan jika izin pengeboran diminta di kemudian hari.
