The devastating fallout of the Biden administration's job-killing rampage continues after he canceled the sale of 80 million acres of Gulf of Mexico oil leases that was scheduled for Wednesday in New Orleans, KLFY-TV in Lafayette, Louisiana, reported Monday.

“It would kill our state. It would kill workers,” Mike Moncla, president of the Louisiana Oil and Gas Association, said of the Biden administration's move. “It would kill jobs, and it would be a terrible thing.”

According to the Moncla and the association, nearly 250,000 Louisiana residents work in the oil and gas industry, and 98,000 of them have offshore jobs.

Biden cancels 80 million acre oil-lease sale,

No he didn't, it was a 60 day suspension enacted when he took office. The title should be whether or not Biden intends to extend it........

Good! The quicker that America gets to starvation, the more the Biden and Harris voters will like it.

Simple upgrade to add a couple USB ports to the tanks. The planes? Lots of unused space on the wings for solar arrays. Finally someone has come up with something uglier than those YUGE sat dishes folks used to have in their yards. :-)

No, he is not. He is just a Demonically possessed Democrat pedophile that Democrats can relate to because they are exactly like him.

Obama is still running the country via orders relayed by the senile puppet’s handlers.

Not to mention manufacturing. Raw materials for my employer are up 20-60% in the last couple months. Guess what. They are increasing sale prices.

We hate doing that because it’s a ton of work. This is only the fourth one in the past 15 years or so.

Where American business and jobs are concerned Biden has the best people on it to insure everyone is treated fair. His top advisor for these things is a Tonya Harding. I hear she does a bang up job. Biden’s superiors are sure happy with the results.

The dems have chosen to eliminate the gas/oil/coal industries. That will increase our dependence on arab oil, which makes money flow to arab states, which then use it to fly planes into buildings.

What powers the backup generators in the White House? Eh? Windmills? Solar panels? Hamsters running around in a cage? Power and light for them, cold and dark nights for us.

Expect a lot of shivering in the dark.

Waiting for the legacy media to explain why this is Trump’s fault.

Somehow, energy-producing states need to figure out HOW to refuse shipments into heavily democrat areas. If the demented one wants to harm energy producers, then the supplicants of the pedo-god need to pay a heavy price

Arab oil? What will we need that for? Volton is the wave of the future. Or lack of one.

Biden’s got to get the Chinese solar panel sales up or Xi says a meeting to ensue.

The big difference is Hitler loved Germany. Biden is doing everything he can to destroy the US

This is a Maoist Communist Culture Revolution - Mao hated all things Chinese and destroyed as much as he could find, like these thugs following Mao’s plan to destroy a culture and a county. According to that plan, there will come a time when industry will return to pre-industrial times; America will follow China’s example and commit to a Great Leap Backward, while fanatical students beat and kill all those who are accused of not following the ideal, as ‘industry’ turns out worthless products made by hand in backyards.

Not really, basically Hitler in the end, thought that the German people were weak and deserved to perish.
