We have lawsuits stopping any potential timber development, controlled burns, or basic public access projects because they will be injuncted. There will be lawsuit after lawsuit after lawsuit. There was a controlled burn trying to be done in California just a couple of years ago that would have helped mitigate one of the worst fires in American history. But it was blocked time and again by an environmentalist. We have to increase access to our public lands and most importantly, take care of them. Thank you, Mister Sheehy. Our next question is from laurel Staples. It's for Senator tester. (42:28–42:37)
