From The Denver Post: "So how do you figure things in the big debate over leasing and drilling in the West?

"The first thing we should remember, at least as far as western Colorado and several other Rocky Mountain states are concerned, is that this is all about natural gas, not petroleum. This is a product in long supply, not short, and what's extracted here is being shipped east. This largely unregulated upheaval of public lands in places such as the Roan Plateau does little to keep our heating bills down and nothing at all for gasoline costs."
