Obama Administration Approves Logging in The Tongass National Forest (Alaska)

Any chance this means the Democrats are moving in the direction of letting us drill in ANWAR?

"From the leftist Mother Nature Network, "Obama Administration Green Lights Logging in Tongass National Forest":





The Obama administration has approved the sale of timber from the Tongass National Forest in Alaska.

The 17-million acre forest is the largest stand of continuous temperate rain forest in the U.S. and contains a lot of old-growth trees. It's basically a snapshot of what the world looked like before we rolled heavy onto the scene.
...
Jobs should not trump mountains, nor should they trump the last great stand of old-growth temperate rain forest left in this great nation of ours. Instead of spending the millions of dollars the federal government intends to pour into road construction to clear cut the area, how about giving the loggers job buyouts so they can find a new career with some scratch in their pockets?
