“Drill Baby, Drill” – Walking the Line Between Conservation and Energy Production

What this episode covers

“Drill Baby, Drill” is a controversial statement for some hunters and conservationists. Why is that? Our longtime friend of the show Gabriella Hoffman of the District of Conservation Podcast makes her return this week. The D.C. area Conservation Policy Analyst is as well versed on anyone when it comes to how energy policy and conservation initiatives collide. Some might think there’s uncertainty when it comes to conservation and the incoming Trump Administration, we discuss whether that take is valid or not. Highlights from this very important discussion include: * Recent rainbow trout trip * Biden/Halaand Administration leave U.S. park system financially broken and disrepair * How Trump Administration will facilitate increased revenue for said National Park Service * Can we become more energy independent and not negatively impact conservation efforts in the process? * Who is incoming Secretary of Interior Doug Burgum and what is his political history when it comes to energy and conservation? * The “Right Whales” held hostage over Eastern seaboard recreational and commercial fishing communities * SCI and Sportsmen’s Alliance sue two Colorado Parks and Wildlife Commissioners for Op Ed piece * Did YETI Coolers go woke?
