I've been posting a lot lately about the Bush Administrations Midnight Rules, specifically those focused on allowing additional oil and gas drilling on public lands. Recently, some of Clinton's own Midnight Rules are back in the news. In January of 2001, on their way out of the White House, the Clinton Administration enacted the Road-less Areas Conservation Rule (RACR) which was adopted by the US Forest Service. This rule essentially protected ~58 million acres of forest from roads, oil and gas drilling, mining, etc. Essentially placing these areas off limits for human development. However, shortly into his first term, Bush started trying to undo the RACR and continued this throughout his second term. This has played out through both government and the courts, with a new development happening just recently.
