BTW before any of the simpletons rage about "but we should drill more oils".. The National Park Service already works with oil/gas companies to allow drilling on National Park Land. What Republicans are trying to do is take away any ability of the NPS to have a say in where they can drill or what they can do on the property, much less have any authority if a spill happens. Republicans just want to give oil companies free reign on the land to do what they want..
Meaning, the oil companies could just drill anywhere in a park they wanted, with out asking first, they could build roads through the parks with no prior planning from the park services and if they damage or destroy the land, the park service has no way to do anything about it. (ie can't fine them for fucking shit up)
Notice how time and time again Republicans fight to allow big business to be unaccountable for their actions?
