#PrivateEquity #investors appear to have found a new target: #oil and #gas companies operating in the Western U.S.
A new report warns of #bankruptcies and abandoned wells on #publicland. Companies backed by private equity have taken in 78% of all federal #drilling permits in #Colorado since 2017, and 50% in Utah. In total they hold approximately $380M in unplugged oil and gas wells in four Western states: Colorado, New Mexico, Utah and Wyoming. https://www.hcn.org/articles/energy-industry-private-equity-gets-into-oil-and-gas

“The whole process of this rule is to devalue #PublicLand,” Grijalva said. “You’re basically handing [land] over to the industries, whichever they might be … and all the protections that are in place under federal law, in terms of siting those and getting permission for those [lands] disappears, and that changes the complexion of it completely.”

Us humans are a part of Yellowstone National Park too. The more people that visit and are educated about the history/importance of natural places and #PublicLand , the more likely it is that our culture will continue to protect,nurture, and grow these places. As a guide I am always bringing the rear. #Yellowstone150 #Yellowstone #environment #NationalParks
