Biden halts all new oil, gas leases

The Biden administration is delaying decisions on new oil and gas drilling on federal land and other energy-related actions after a federal court blocked the way officials were calculating the real-world costs of climate change.

The administration said in a legal filing that a Feb. 11 ruling by a Louisiana federal judge will affect dozens of rules by at least four federal agencies. Among the immediate effects is an indefinite delay in planned oil and gas lease sales on public lands in a half-dozen states in the West, including Wyoming, Montana and Utah.

The ruling also will delay plans to restrict methane waste emissions from natural gas drilling on public lands and a court-ordered plan to develop energy conservation standards for manufactured housing, the administration said. The ruling also will delay a $2.3 billion federal grant program for transit projects, officials said.

Because of Biden and his Fascist Green Friends, the entire world has a massive shortage of fossil fuel fertilizer. It means the largest Starvation Event in human history. The selfish bastards.

Let’s hope and pray it changes for the better in 2025. It sure doesn’t look like it could possibly get any worse...unless we are all a pile of smoking radioactive rubble in a week or two.

Americans need to learn to cut back on their home heating fuels, turn down the temps and pay 2x what we did last year. This is our fault, we need to suffer. Why would we life environmental handcuffs and become energy independent with very low costs? That would be crazy!

OK, so we all agree Bidumdum is pretty much nutz. Now it seems like Pootin has slipped a notch or two also. Maybe we could get a few Russians to chip in and send them both to the same Dacha-for-the-Happy? Some place quiet. Like Siberia?

This is the EXACT OPPOSITE of what he should be doing. We should be pumping the living snot out of oil and gas and choking our refineries with crude so we don’t have to buy oil overseas. Trump had it right for obvious reasons.

Yes, we should suffer, we need to cut back on fossil fuels. We only have 100+ years left, so we need to convert to EV in weeks.

“Nothing will change until 2025”.

At this rate, we’ll be sunk by 2025. There will be nothing left to meaningfully change.
