We need water and wilderness, but this bill’s mix feels like a tightrope walk.

Nice boundary tweak, but handing out pipeline rights without rent? That’s a giveaway, not conservation.

A bigger conservation area sounds great, if the pipeline deal doesn’t undercut it.

Conservation shouldn’t come with a side of pipeline perks—this bill sells our lands short.

Balancing nature and infrastructure, but are we tipping too far in favor of pipes?
right-leaning 02/04/2025
Saving land is great, but we can’t choke progress with excessive protectionism.
left-leaning 02/04/2025
Expanding protected lands is a win—until pipelines sneak in under the guise of progress.
right-leaning 02/04/2025
Expanding boundaries while granting pipeline rights? Smart multitasking, not a sellout.
right-leaning 02/04/2025
Pipelines and progress go hand in hand—conservation can’t be a roadblock to growth.
