The Biden administration was hit with an immediate lawsuit Wednesday over its decision to halt oil and gas leasing on federal lands and waters.
The Western Energy Alliance, a group representing fossil fuel producers active on federal lands, sued in the U.S. District Court for the District of Wyoming, alleging President Biden exceeded presidential authority.
Kathleen Sgamma, president of the Alliance, described Biden's action as a "ban," despite his administration describing the order as a temporary moratorium on leasing while the administration reviews how to better balance oil and gas with developing renewables on federal lands and waters.
The administration did not provide a timeline for when the pause would end.

Something tells me Biden is going to get sued a lot.
Keep on suing.
I hope to see so many more lawsuits against his administration!
Good. These so called representative need to fear the constituency.
Texas AG Paxton has promised lots of them. Good.
Well, good.
States need to push back.
A long time ago a woman at work said “They’re reporting China now has traffic congestion, smog from cars and waiting lists to get cars and trucks. Remember when they showed videos of the smart, ahead of the ecological curve Chinese in China riding bicycles by the thousands in cities? It turns out they wanted cars just like Americans. They just couldn’t afford them yet.”
Watch for Americans to be forced onto bikes when cars are prohibited on alternate days for alternate alphabet last name drivers and then banned as we are forced onto little ped things I saw in a Futurist Magazine issue. They said “You don’t need a car, you need a ride somewhere. These urban rental nesting electric mini-cars can take one person at a time fifty miles.”
Now if they can find a court that will even bother to look at the case..............
Every Illegitimate “executive order” needs to be culled just like the Bammy Patrol did to President Trump..
Let the lawsuits begin!!!
Bring on the law suits and anything else to stop this tyrant!
Texas has very little federal lands in the current oil plays but New Mexico and Wyoming do.
What about the contracts that have been let, is the government going to pick up the cancellation charges?
Maybe Alberta needs to take the Biden administration to the World Court.
No, the leases already signed cannot be revoked.
Yes, Canada ought to do it. It’s not right that one person can destroy thousands of jobs and cause billions in damages.
Didn’t take long for those headwinds to appear over the horizon. It is almost as if some of the affected parties already knew what was in store for them and had prepared retaliatory strikes in advance.
Joe Biden and his puppetmasters should look forward to as much guff and “lawfare” as was thrown against the Trump Administration a a whole. And that would not even begin to make up the gulf that separates the two visions of America.
Expect the Indian Tribes with oil and gas reserves to join in the lawsuit.
This is Federal land. It doesn't belong to us any more, it's the property of our new Masters, the Chinese.
Oil and gas will be extracted eventually, just not by us.
These lawsuits need to be taken a step farther, and not just by Texas. All of the Western States need to take back their land from the Federal Government, they can own NYC and San Francisco instead.
