Although we have focused here on the Green River country of Wyoming, energy development is booming on public lands all across the West. More than 50,000 wells are planned or already in place in:
The Red Desert (Wyoming)
Jack Morrow Hills (Wyoming)
Northern Colorado
Roan Plateau (Colorado)
San Juan Basin (Colorado)
Valle Vidal (New Mexico)
