Off shore windmills cause more damage than off shore drilling. Why not ban windmills?
Unfortunately my energy provider, Dominion Energy, is going whole hog into the Offshore Windmill Scam .
What a waste of money and resources
Government subsidies and mandates usually work against the best interests of the people.
If something is really a good idea, it won’t need subsidies nor mandates. People will take up whatever it is all by themselves, if it really is in their best interests.
During the lobotomy they’ll have to drill though Joey’s skull.
Wow! He out assholes himself everyday!
Because that would not hurt the US economy, which is the goal.
Obama and his ilk are in charge, and Cloward-Piven is a thing.
Banned for 2 weeks
So he used an EO to do the ban, imo the law in question cannot make an EO permanent, he can counter it with another EO, ride it out to the SC if heeded, force the issue.
I get the law empowers him to do this but EOs are the sole perview of the current president, one EO cannot be used to bind a future president, that violates the seperation of powers if you allow a congress to write a law enabling that.
Biden is such a nasty, petty, vindictive little prick.
As the Lamest of Lame Duck “Presidents” tries to screw the entire country, not just Trump, yet again.
And the worst president in history.
At least one pundit said today placing the order by Biden is one things but it will take courts of appeal and higher over a period of months to reverse the order.
The Demonic Dems always have the dirty deeds figured out.
Like I’ve said an APPROPRIATE response to this move by Biden would be for Trump to PERMANENTLY ban offshore and onshore wind turbine installations, along with solar farms on federal land.
Give them a taste of their own medicine, for once.
If I remember on Biden’s first day he cancelled 24 of Trumps executive orders so maybe Trump can cancel 124 of Biden’s on his first day.
When granting the permits to drill, the Trump Administration should include a penalty if the permit is later revoked e.g. forcing the government to pay off the estimated value of the oil, plus the costs of improvements to drill, plus the employees pension contributions and severances etc.
This is how Democrats do it. They get an NGO to sue the Dept of Justice for something or another, and the DOJ settles the case with a consent decree that they will never do it again. That makes it difficult for future Presidents to change the regulations.
This is just another BS effort by the administration to castrate the ability to petroleum retreival. But it is going to get into some problems as the Submerged Lands Act (SLA) of 1953 was the first to define stte operations. A good article here is this:

The feds are over extending into intrastate commerce and laws that keep them from it. Without new laws, as done in congress, the administration is bluffing to go after ecology calls. They can get stonewalled and when Trump comes in, he just erases the unlawful effort.

2025 may break 2024’s all time record for American oil production.
