Drilling operations reshape landscape. By Todd Hartman, Rocky Mountain News
Drilling and production are also reshaping Wyoming (the most), Utah, New Mexico, and soon, Montana, and North Dakota. All attempts in Congress so far to tighten up the the drilling have failed. In fact, they were dropped from the recent massive energy bill to try to gather one more vote, that of Domenici of New Mexico. Bush says he will veto the bill anyway.

Maybe I’m just bitter, but it will be nice for some of this drilling to get into the areas that people with money enjoy… then maybe something will finally be done about it.
