The federal government’s 60-day suspension of new oil and gas leasing and drilling permits on public lands sent shockwaves through the industry in New Mexico and divided industry experts over potential impacts.
“It’s very much putting politics above science,” said Ryan Flynn, president and CEO of the New Mexico Oil and Gas Association.
Members of the oil and gas industry and economic experts are weighing the potential impact of the federal government’s 60-day suspension of new ail and gas leasing and drilling permits on public lands. (Jim Thompson/Albuquerque Journal) Acting Secretary of Interior Scott de la Vega on Wednesday ordered a 60-day moratorium on new leases, drilling permits or other contracts needed to extract fossil fuels on federal lands, both onshore and offshore. The rule doesn’t affect existing permits.
Flynn said he was “disappointed” by the order after it was announced Thursday. He said he doesn’t believe the suspension would help reduce emissions, and that the order interrupts the development of infrastructure that connects new and existing wells to pipelines, forcing operators to flare methane emissions rather than recovering them.

“This will happen very soon after Bidens new national $15 per hour minimum wage. People will be shocked at just how fast the conversion will occur. “
TOTALLY RIGHT! Having been to other countries, with higher minimum wages...yep, it’s all kiosks now for ordering. It’s just a matter of running a few jackhammers and stringing some wiring for McDonalds to have it everywhere.
Biden said he was going after oil and coal.
Didn’t you idiots believe him?

The panic and second thoughts are frightening to me. Are people truly this stupid?
Lot of Freepers seem to get it no problem. Maybe NM can recoup the millions upon millions of dollars it just stupidly voted to LOSE by taxing the crap out of rich liberals who voted for biteme. Good luck finding new jobs in the deserts of NM - I’ve been there - born in Roswell. AFB’s and tumbleweeds.
CA here.
DEFINITELY feelin’ that pain.
YEARS AND YEARS, now.
Got nobody in the House.
Got nobody in the Senate.
The Presidency is my only “shot,” and I been rooked outta that, now, too.
Yes.
Exactly. At this point I have zero sympathy for my “Fellow Americans”, especially in blue states. Dzou Bai Den (I love that misspelling) can burn America down around their ears as far as I’m concerned.
And now we see the reason there are instructions on boxes of Poptarts.
kind of how I feel, too.
Maybe they can fill the hole with their romancing of Hollywood to move there. lol
The country welcomes its new BOSS:
Bow down!!
Obey!
Sacrifice!
Snitch!
I can’t wrap my mind around it either.
New Mexico has only voted red ONE time in the last 8 presidential elections. (2004)
Seems they’ve been infected with leftists for quiet a while and getting worse.
Russia’s intervention is what saved Assad and turned the tide of the civil war against the various groups backed by the US including ISIS.. I doubt they will want to help the US remove him.
Yes it does. A friend of mine in Hobbs who works for a local independent said that all permits that were in effect now have to provide more information.
NM Pub state party chairman, Steve Pearce, has said as much publically. He believes the totals were changed due to use of their software, but with the Dems in charge of all of state government, nothing can be done about it until Pubs elect some of their own. Doesn't help when the local media follows the national media lead and pushes the narrative "Trump bad, Biden and Dems good" lie.
“Well, wonder how NeverTrumper Liz Cheney feels about this edict from Biden.”

I’ve been saying, “suck it up, buttercup!”
Trump repeated over and over again what Biden was going to do to the oil industry HOWEVER this election was stolen SO the people who have lost their jobs is NOT BECAUSE Biden was elected this is a crying shame all the way around and I really feel for the American people the unions who backed Biden DESERVE whatever they get!!
They may not have targeted NM directly with false ballots like PA and GA, but Bernalillo County, the state's largest in population (Albuquerque area) had Dominion machines. They could have hijacked the Trump votes without on-the-ground action by the Dems.

I am having a good time since the swearing in of the Biden/Harris Regime.
Especially with someone I know in Florida.
Gave her my unpolished, and brutal, thoughts. She’s upset because the company she’s working for is wanting to pass on the costs of what they’ve had to pay since the mess of Obama.
Told her she got exactly what she wanted, that the unions wanted, nay...demanded company employees who have Cadillac Plans pay more as they can afford to do so. Then those same unions wanted a reprieve.
Told her that she has a Cadillac Plan and that she got exactly what they asked for the others to be saddled with pertaining to costs.
It got much more brutal. Figure she’s either going to unfriend me or report me to get me banned. Either way, it’s livable.
Not gonna keep this Texas mouth shut, that is for sure. They bought the dead horse, they can eat the dead horse.
