Easier said than done. The Federal Government practically owns the Western states. Notice that the Feds only own 1.8% of the land in TX and 2.1% in PA. In Colorado they own 36.2%.

Ban will cripple New Mexico where the Feds owns all the drilling land. And, Louisiana where the Feds own all the Offshore Leases.
Good for Texas because the State owns it’s own public lands. And, good for Old Mexico because New Mexican drillers will move there.
The FEDS DO NOT OWN that land in Nevada——
THEY DO CONTROL IT...
But they pay NOT A DIME OF taxes on any of it to the state of Nevada.
Same in Utah..Other than the small footprints of Military Bases-— they do NOT OWN it.
Last I heard Utah % was much closer to 84%,.
