Report: Most oil, gas beneath public lands off-limits - Los Angeles Times

Report: Most oil, gas beneath public lands off-limits - Los Angeles Times: "A new report from the Bush administration says most of the oil and more than 40% of the natural gas beneath public lands in the United States are off-limits to drilling.

Rolling back environmental safeguards and employing new drilling technologies would give energy companies access to 19 billion barrels of oil and trillions of cubic feet of natural gas, administration officials said Wednesday."
