This article from the Bozeman Daily Chronicle describes the creation of a temporary ban on coalbed methane development near Bozeman, Montana. The local county commission created an emergency zoning district and installed a set of regulations that would give county officials a say in how drilling is conducted. This example shows how citizens and local politicians have tried to prevent energy development in their area.
