Sportsmen Release Responsible Oil and Gas Recommendations
Sportsmen for Responsible Energy Development released its Recommendations for Responsible Oil and Gas Development Monday July 21st.
The recommendations are based on a May 2008 symposium which featured expert land managers, scientists, and planners who met in Wyoming to develop a framework for implementing responsible energy development across the West. This report is the product of that unprecedented event and outlines sportsmen’s recommendations for oil and gas development that provide for our energy needs without sacrificing our Western heritage.
