"We are pleased that the court invalidated Interior’s illegal lease sale," said Brettny Hardy, Earthjustice’s senior attorney, in a statement. "We simply cannot continue to make investments in the fossil fuel industry to the peril of our communities and increasingly warming planet."
The decision is not the first time a court has cited faulty environmental analyses in blocking oil and gas development on federal lands. In August, a federal judge reversed the government's approval of a $6 billion ConocoPhillips development in Alaska, a decision that was cited in Contreras' ruling.
Activists at work. Find a friendly judge, exceed authority. In this case, Contreras again
The use the case to get another friendly judge to overrule yet another administrative action.
But it is not like this administration is trying to defend it's own positions.
Climate Cretins.
An illegal action.
Solution?
Shut off all energy delivery to Blue States.
Judge Rudolph Contreras and dabbler in climatology? I would have been more pleased if he had commented on the NOT climate crisis. No comments from the office of the exterior? CLIMAGEDDON!!!!
Judgislators. Why have either?
Wanna bet Biden didn’t do the paperwork because he wanted the judge to 86’ it without taking the hit for killing it himself?
Note to judges: You do not make “climate” policy.
Judge Rudolph Contreras remains an existential threat to “our democracy”.
The Judge has no such authority, and his excuse is without foundation in science.
You forgot to account for the money these enviro groups receive from Uncle Sugar to sustain their lawsuits against Uncle Sugar.
I’ll bet the judge followed the law scrupulously. I also don’t trust Biden’s administration to do the work required to actually guarantee the sale. Rather I bet they screwed it up on purpose.
Calculate the Climate Change Impact?
OK, better get a Scientific study before becoming pregnant.
How much CO2 will that baby exhale over it’s life?
Oops, too much; terminate pregnancy.
For the life of me, I cannot understand how these completely ignorant tools are allowed to destroy this nation over their idiotic, moronic, ignorant, idiocy of climate change and renewables.
If there was a better, cheaper, cleaner way to produce energy we would have companies doing it.
We are literally ruled ... by children.
“Rudolph Contreras is a federal judge on the United States District Court for the District of Columbia. He joined the court in 2012 after a nomination from President Barack Obama (D).[1][2]
Contreras is the presiding judge of the United States Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court. He was appointed by Chief Justice John G. Roberts on May 19, 2016.[3] Contreras became presiding judge of the court on May 19, 2021.[4”
If he narrowly followed the Law in this case, it was only because it allowed him to further his agenda.

I Still don’t trust the Biden administration.
I think that was Judge Emmett Sullivan wasnt it?
