​The Great American Outdoors Act is the largest federal conservation program created in the past 50 years. The new law takes $2.8 billion annually from energy development on public lands and puts it into national parks, wildlife refuges, and other public lands across the country for conservation and repairing visitor centers, trails, campgrounds, and other facilities.
 
We’re proud to say the program is funded almost exclusively from revenues generated by federal oil and natural gas production. The Great American Outdoors Act is the largest federal conservation program created in the past 50 years. The new law takes $2.8 billion annually from energy development on public lands and puts it into national parks, wildlife refuges, and other public lands across the country for conservation and repairing visitor centers, trails, campgrounds, and other facilities.
Unfortunately, President Biden is threatening this conservation and infrastructure funding by banning the sale of oil and natural gas leases on non-park, non-wilderness public lands. As a result, thousands of lingering infrastructure projects that need attention as result of years of overcrowding and overuse by millions of visitors are at risk.
 
Western Energy Alliance supports the Great American Outdoors Act and worked to get it passed because the law provides an appropriate balance between responsible energy development on working landscapes while preserving our nation’s treasured public spaces. And we care how the government uses the billions of dollars oil and natural gas companies generate annually.
