## Resource

Oil and gas giants just paid $11 million to lease nearly 2,800 acres in Ohio’s only national forest—Wayne National Forest—for fracking, sparking outrage from environmentalists and citizens worried about wildlife, air, and water. Despite federal royalty cuts aimed at boosting energy production, legal challenges loom as activists prepare to fight the leases in court. This isn’t isolated: Ohio is also leasing public lands for drilling, pitting corporate profits against the push for clean energy and environmental protection.
