Bishop is a bought-and-paid-for tool of the energy industry and makes up "facts" to suit his needs at will. SWCA is the same group that produced the Arizona Strip uranium report that was was widely debunked after it was learned they hired uranium industry workers for the study including Karen Weinrich who was quoted in the study as an "expert." It was later learned that she had a huge conflict of interest with a deal to make $250,000 off of uranium claims she held only if the withdrawal didn't happen. Bishop lies all the time when he talks about the alleged economic benefits of mining and energy extraction: for example, he says the Az Strip uranium is worth $30 billion and thousands of jobs while the USGS report says perhaps $3 billion over decades and about 120 jobs while putting at risk the $700 million annual take from Grand Canyon tourism that could be ruined by extensive mining operations near the Canyon.
