Beyond Petroleum Spills?

by: Matt Singer

I got passed a poll today showing that 81% of Montanans support using "some of the money from fees charged to oil and gas companies that
drill offshore [...] to conserve natural areas and clean water, and to ensure access to outdoor recreation."

The poll was commissioned by people trying to increase funding to the Land and Water Conservation Fund, which I have to confess I know very little about.

But since public lands questions fire up so much conversation here, I thought I'd kick it to the crowd -- should we move money from oil and gas fees to the LWCF? Poll below -- and explain why in comments, please.

of course we should (0.00 / 0)
and i will go one step further: like europe, we should charge ourselves at least $1.00 extra at the pump for every gallon we use to pay for improved train systems and better technology to utilize less fuel for each mile driven.

and another 50 cents toward alternative fuel research development.

4.50 per gallon would make everyone think before driving needlessly. walking or bicycling would make us feel better.
we need to realize that every soldier killed in iraq to protect oil reserves and every sea turtle egg destroyed begins with our hand on that pump.
