North Dakota State To Delay Some Leasing -- The Story Has No Legs -- Great, Great Political Move -- The Bakken, North Dakota, USA

You can always count on the Dickinson Press to give good copy.

The newspaper reports that state may delay leasing some state land.

This is a non-story, but a very, very smart political move.

Mike McEnroe of Bismarck, a member of The Wildlife Society, said leasing the lands would be contrary to an agreement struck between then Gov. Ed Schafer and North Dakota’s congressional delegation that became federal law in 1998.

Now, if only The Wildlife Society would talk about all the migratory birds, whooping cranes, and eagles that will be killed by wind turbines. Sometimes, what is not said/done, is more newsworthy that what is said/done.

Mike: tell me you don't support wind turbines!
