The Biden administration backtracked on reports that it is resuming the federal oil and gas leasing program in light of a recent appeals court decision.
On Friday, Reuters reported that the Department of the Interior (DOI), the agency tasked with overseeing the leasing program, was planning to resume the previously-delayed program. But a DOI spokesperson pushed back on the report, saying it overstated the administration’s position that it would begin planning the next steps, not that it had already resumed the program.
“The article overstates our next steps (we did not say we were resuming leasing but instead the planning),” Melissa Schwartz, the Interior spokesperson, told the Daily Caller News Foundation in an email.
Schwartz also shared the department’s full statement given to Reuters, laying out its next steps regarding the oil and gas leasing program. Reuters partially quoted the DOI statement.

To “backtrack” is what the MSM calls a “flip flop” when it’s done by someone they like.
...and they’ll “plan” forever.
Ok, have it that way. Nov 2022 tic toc tic toc.
Trump was right again.
Well, from the post yesterday that is true. They were gonna commence thinking about planning to provide leases. Or something.
“Trump was right again.”

These flaming idiots can’t even keep their lies straight.
Stupid people.
Just in case anyone wants to know who is behind Bidens disastrous energy policies. So much so that Blackrock has their fund manager for their sustainable green energy fund employed by and working for the Biden Cabinet.

Normally they would put out their lie and then ignore the situation. Sounds like they had to clarify to the libs their position.
That they can’t hide things should encourage us?
Deliberate.
Biden’s war on oil continues at the pump.
The court already said they must...

LOL! With democommies, court ruling mean nothing. Or as rita morono suggests, just say “f ‘em’!
I figured that when this was announced they would lease but not permit. Seen it before.
Lies, smoke and mirrors. Pablum for the sheeple.
