Feds to restart oil leasing after Biden loss in court
Excerpt:
On the day that Joe Biden was sworn into office, among the record-setting flurry of executive orders he signed was a “pause” on all new drilling leases for oil and gas on federal lands. That pause was intended to provide time to “investigate” the situation but it quickly began to look as if it might be indefinite. That situation led a dozen of the nation’s major oil and gas producing states to take the federal government to court and have them restart the leases. The White House lost that court battle in June and they now appear to be nearly out of appeals. A quiet announcement from the Biden administration on Tuesday indicated that they would restart the oil and gas leasing program as soon as next week and will reopen bidding for drilling permits in the Gulf of Mexico by early October.
...The primary reason that Biden is backing down appears to be a threat from the Louisiana court that heard the case to hold the federal government in contempt if they failed to comply with the previous order. The plaintiffs pointed out that all of the proposed leasing sites had already undergone extensive study covering precisely the information that the current Interior Department claims to be seeking and the sales were already approved.
Many of the promises that Joe Biden made to his progressive base during the campaign were the focus of his avalanche of executive orders signed shortly after taking office. Those actions won him widespread praise from liberals and most of the mainstream press. But one by one, a lot of those plans have begun to wilt after being exposed to the realities of the world.
