Appeals court will not reconsider decision to overturn Obama-era fracking rule

[Free Vulcan]

A federal appeals court said Wednesday it will not reconsider its September decision overturning a lower court's order to block the Obama administration’s fracking rule.

The Denver-based 10th Circuit Court of Appeals said it was not interested in rehearing arguments to block the Bureau of Land Management's regulations on hydraulic fracturing, or fracking. In September, it said that the case was moot since the Trump administration's Interior Department is moving to repeal the regulation on oil and natural gas drilling on federal lands.

The rule affects oil wells on public lands that are found mainly in the West.

Better journalism, of a caliber we once enjoyed, would give the relevant and useful statistics.

The reader should be informed if the issue is "material" relative to both environmental protections and oil production.

How many wells, daily barrels of oil production, acres of land, etc? Then convert those to percent of totals.

How many states?

Even when we overcome the Deep State within the Executive Dept, we get courts who abuse their authority and rule Unconstitutionally.
