After President Biden — along with a good portion of his cabinet — returned from a U.N. climate summit in Scotland, his administration proceeded with the sale of oil drilling rights covering more than 100,000 square miles — some eight million acres — in the Gulf of Mexico on Wednesday in the latest instance of Biden's pandering to the woke crowd not working in the real world.

It is not Biden move. Biden was forced to do that by lawsuit.
So despite Biden move, we may have some gas to pump up, thanks to judge(s).
The courts forced him to do the right thing.
Libtards know he tried his to screw up over.

Just a payoff to someone, in exchange for kickbacks.
