Overview
The Western Energy Project seeks to protect fragile public lands in the West threatened by fossil energy leasing and development. This grant would support the Project in its efforts to: (1) ensure the U.S. Department of the Interior implements on-the-ground fossil energy leasing reforms, (2) secure adoption of a public lands oil shale plan, and (3) defend the Department of the Interior’s fossil energy leasing reforms from proposals to weaken them, through an effective public communications strategy and by engaging a broad array of Western voices.
