There is presumably no plan to buy up millions of acres of state and private land in states where the federal government now owns almost no land: such as 0.3% federal in Connecticut or 2.4% in Delaware.
Team Biden thinks even more should be off limits.

Of this total – 109 million acres – Washington plus Oregon – are already designated “wilderness,” where little more than hiking is permitted. BLM and FS areas are supposedly “multiple use,” with some natural resource development allowed, but all are increasingly managed primarily for preservation. Some FWS lands allow limited farming and energy development. NPS lands are managed solely for scenic, wildlife protection and recreational purposes. That’s 615 million acres, six times California, 28% of the USA. This “30 X 30 Plan” appears to presume that any areas not designated as park, refuge or wilderness are not “protected,” even though the vast majority of federal lands are already effectively off limits to mining, drilling, timber harvesting and even grazing, by virtue of policies heavily tilted toward preservation and against any development.įederal land management agencies include the Defense Department: 9 million acres National Park Service: 80 million Fish and Wildlife Service: 89 million Forest Service: 193 million and Bureau of Land Management: 244 million acres. Via yet another decree (Executive Order 14008), President Biden has instructed government agencies to “ permanently protect” at least 30% of all US lands and waters by 2030. Biden will “preserve 30% of our land” – and blanket America with wind, solar and landfills
