All by design. He won’t restart this pipeline. It’s all part of the green energy transition. They’ll include it in the infrastructure bill and a bunch of Republicans will support the next massive spending bill giving Biden a victory.
Sec. 4. Arctic Refuge. (a) In light of the alleged legal deficiencies underlying the program,
including the inadequacy of the environmental review required by the National Environmental
Policy Act, the Secretary of the Interior shall, as appropriate and consistent with applicable law,
place a temporary moratorium on all activities of the Federal Government relating to the
implementation of the Coastal Plain Oil and Gas Leasing Program, as established by the Record
of Decision signed August 17, 2020, in the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge. The Secretary shall
review the program and, as appropriate and consistent with applicable law, conduct a new,
comprehensive analysis of the potential environmental impacts of the oil and gas program.(b) In Executive Order 13754 of December 9, 2016 (Northern Bering Sea Climate
Resilience), and in the Presidential Memorandum of December 20, 2016 (Withdrawal of Certain
Portions of the United States Arctic Outer Continental Shelf From Mineral Leasing), President
Obama withdrew areas in Arctic waters and the Bering Sea from oil and gas drilling and
established the Northern Bering Sea Climate Resilience Area. Subsequently, the order was
revoked and the memorandum was amended in Executive Order 13795 of April 28, 2017
(Implementing an America-First Offshore Energy Strategy). Pursuant to section 12(a) of the
Outer Continental Shelf Lands Act, 43 U.S.C. 1341(a), Executive Order 13754 and the
Presidential Memorandum of December 20, 2016, are hereby reinstated in their original form,
thereby restoring the original withdrawal of certain offshore areas in Arctic waters and the Bering
Sea from oil and gas drilling.(c) The Attorney General may, as appropriate and consistent with applicable law, provide
notice of this order to any court with jurisdiction over pending litigation related to the Coastal
Plain Oil and Gas Leasing Program in the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge and other related
programs, and may, in his discretion, request that the court stay the litigation or otherwise delay
further litigation, or seek other appropriate relief consistent with this order, pending the
completion of the actions described in subsection (a) of this section
So joe/Obama do love the fact gas prices are so high, as they believe it will drive average working folks to invest $50,000-$90,000 we don’t have and can’t afford to finance into an electric car...to “save the earth for our kids”..
