Any oil or gas drilling on national forest land is "shameful," said Erin Duffy Zellet, coordinator of the Los Padres chapter of the Sierra Club.

While designated condor habitat will be safe, the birds effectively make the entire forest their home and "any kind of machinery that goes into the forest increases the risk for fire," she said.

"We spent millions and millions of dollars on the condor restoration program and to risk it for a few days of oil at our current consumption rate, I don't see the point," she said.

such a profound revelation from a 'bird-brain', and doing nothing to either reduce current fuelloads, harvest timber that is -wastin' or to exploit energy when we need it most, well..

These kind of people are supremely irritating.

Here in Arizona, they keep the parks from letting loggers cut down the dead wood and younger trees.This makes wildfires more likely. Knowing CA, they've got it in a worse lock down.

They're afraid of fires being sparked by machinery and have partly brought it upon themselves. Not to mention the foreign oil thing.
