Sierra Club: Bush Changed Drilling Rules

The Sierra Club has filed a lawsuit charging that the Bush administration altered a rule to allow oil and gas companies to drill under national parks from areas outside of the parks, and it did so without public input. A law put into place in 1979 requires the National Park Service to conduct an evaluation of possible environmental impact as a result of any proposed drilling. The Sierra Club has said that not only has this rule been ignored as of late, and it is requesting that the Bush administration halt the drilling.

[Judging from what I have seen in the past, it would not surprise me if the Sierra Club's allegations are correct. Bush has NOT proved himself to be a "good steward of the earth", as he claimed during one of the debates. Pushing laws with euphamistic and misleading titles like "The Healthy Forest Act" DOES NOT COUNT!!! Honestly, I encourage anyone who is reading this to go do some research about what your president has done to the environment. I think you will be appalled.]
