When there is an energy development on federal lands, there is a requirement that damage be offset by improvements elsewhere. This location isn't a potential site for an energy development; its a potential site for offsetting damages from a development elsewhere. The BLM is saying the developers are interested in restoring the area and can't do it with cows eating everything. And the BLM has expressed a preference for having someone pay to turn the area into some kind of wildlife sanctuary over having someone's cows trespass and eat stuff there for free
exactly. basically they want their pet chinese solar farm political project (harry reid's son) and are using the land bundy's cattle was grazing on as the offset.
end result = more 'untouchable' land in nevada in fed control.
pretty soon there wont be land left anywhere in the country that isn't controlled by the government.

I don't understand what you want though; I just think you aren't thinking your position all the way through.
Are you against all development of federal land, or just projects you don't like?
To be more specific:
If BLM decided to open up a few thousand acres to oil and gas drilling, and in order to offset the environmental damage from the drilling the oil companies wanted to pay to improve the environment on some other federal lands, and the mitigation project (and the drilling) couldn't move forward until some trespassing cows were removed from the property, would you support armed resistance to removing the cows from the property?
