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..

That's the problem, Ms. Duffy-Zellet: You don't see the point. Everyone else does.

Go hug a tree in the Argonne.

Got a fair idea - if the conservation groups want to, they can bid on the leases and buy up all of them. Thus no development, the forest gets the income that it needs, and a lot of environmental wackos have wasted their money on something reasonably positive.

I know, I know, stupid me. (And as an added bonus, the oil is still there for later.)

Can we use ground-up Condors in our fuel to help improve mileage??? God save us from the whacks and freaks of the left...meanwhile America burns, while we pander to hippie "conservationists" -- (whatever a conservationist really is...)
