In 2003, Bush opened millions of acres of land in the Rocky mountains for potential commercial development. On Thursday, the US Bureau of Land Management announced that they now have the authority to mark off public land as 'wild' and rope it off to future development.
So what do you think about this? I'm not to big on the out doors, but I find it good that we can now have some more potential for some undeveloped lands. But will this be revoked by future presidents, especially considering the changes in representation?

I agree with Alex that this policy sounds good, but skimming over the article, it also sounds pretty vague. It could just be that the article didn't go into much detail, but there is less of a chance that this policy will be effective if it lacks clarity.
Like Alex said, it is also true that if this doesn't go into effect very soon, it might be reversed by a conservative leader in the future, and the policy won't have much of an effect at all.
