Currently, there are regulations in place to limit exploration of fossil fuels on public lands – including oil, coal,
and natural gas. Some people say we need to continue to limit exploration on public lands to curb carbon
emissions, conserve natural resources, and protect the environment. Other people say we should allow more
exploration to spur job growth, increase U.S. energy exports, and strengthen the U.S. economy. Which position
