Once again, an O-hole appointee...

Can’t be encroaching on the Middle East’s monopoly, now can we?

They forgot to put Hunter on their board.

No doubt opec will make up the difference right?

Aw, just go begging to the Saudis again even though they are likely rethinking the value of our friendship in light of current events

State and company should just move forward anyway

Was her opinion based on a proposed opinion submitted by counsel for plaintiffs?

So, is the state going to appeal to the 9th Circuit?

Kill cheap energy and you kill the middle class and rural communities.

One job Biden is doing very well.

Who needs energy independence? Not Tali-Biden.

Note the 'value judgement' embodied here; "... the Trump administration’s approval of the project under the National Environmental Policy Act was flawed because it failed to thoroughly analyze potential greenhouse gas pollution ..". This leaves the question of what, in the opinion of U.S. District Court Judge Sharon Gleason, a thorough analysis would be?

My personal opinion is that Judge Gleason would probably opine that only a cancellation of the entire fossil fuel industry would reflect a sufficiently thorough analysis here.

Do I need to look her up to see who nominated her?

Soetero, Clinton, or one of the Bushes

I’m going with Soetero.

It also vacates a formal opinion by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service that said the project was unlikely to jeopardize polar bears’ continued existence and unlikely to harm their critical habitat.

I thought this was interesting. Cancelling the project approval by the BLM should have done the trick. But this judge "vacates a formal opinion" by the FWS? How does that work? It is wholly unnecessary unless she wanted to ensure that if a higher court overturns her actions that the FWS will have to redo the formal opinion, requiring additional time before the project can restart.

Every energy company should be reviewing proposed energy projects to evaluate how likely that the Xiden administration will pull stuff like this.

"Hey, OPEC? Joe again. I am REALLY REALLY going to need you to ship us more oil, pronto."

Unfortunately, Biden has the nukes and army brigades on his side to use against the people, so no one is touching him. There is some sarcasm in that statement, but not as much as it should be.

When feds attempt to override state’s rights is it mostly a delay tactic?

[jughandle]

Great! Let’s rely on the Middle East, those who hate us and want us dead, for energy. Brilliant.

[sauropod]

Dunleavy should go ahead anyway, and let this hack of a judge enforce it.

[M Kehoe]

Hi.

“Was flawed because it failed to thoroughly analyze potential greenhouse gas pollution,”

So judge Gleason is a climate scientist?
