From the LA Times: "Drilling Plan OK'd for Rare Desert Land"

Overriding objections by New Mexico's governor, the Interior Department
announced a final plan Monday for expanding oil and gas drilling on Otero
Mesa, a rare desert grassland and one of a handful of places in the western
U.S. where opposition to drilling had united ranchers, property rights
advocates, hunters and conservationists.

Now really, how on earth is the U.S. going to be able to continue invading
