Cropped version of an an academic article in a journal. The Journal title is featured in a header in bold blue text on a white background that is centered on the top of the page. It reads "Journal of Energy History". In lighter weight text is the corresponding French title: "Revue d'histoire de l'energie."
The actual title of the article is "Provisioning Parks in Petrochemical America: Origins and Legacies of the Land and Water Conservation Fund." The title appears in centered on the page bold black text underneath the header.
Then, centered on the page beneath the article's title is an abstract. It reads: "Departing from past work that has positioned the attachment of US federal offshore oil and gas leasing revenues to the Land and Water Conservation Fund in 1968 as the outcome of a rare moment of bipartisan support for environmental protection in US Congress, this article argues that the arrangement served as a spatial fix for conditions that emerged with the growth of the American oil industry
and its expansion offshore. Tracing the fund’s political and economic origins and spatial legacies, it reveals how the fund perpetuated a model of conservation that primarily serviced the needs and interests of oil and gas, timbering, tourism, insurance and real estate industries—and white consumers. At a time when old energetic and spatial schemas had grown outmoded in the 1960’s, the attachment of petrocapital to parks funding largely reified existing racial and economic norms."
Next to the abstract at left is a column of text identifying the Author, the Post Date, the Issue Number, and the Theme of the Special Issue. The Author is: Charlotte Leib. The Post Date is: July 2024. The Theme of the Special Issue is: Black and Green? Environmental Histories of the Oil Industry. The word "Keywords" appears in the same column at the bottom-most part of the image. On the right of the page are two stacked aerial images of oil refineries and parks, highlighted in yellow & green.
