BIDEN ADMINISTRATION CANCELS ALASKA OIL AND GAS LEASE SALE: CBS
Let’s go Brandon!
“BIDEN ADMINISTRATION CANCELS ALASKA OIL AND GAS LEASE SALE: CBS”
Take that, Putin!!!
Every time something doesn’t go the way they want (ie. abortion bill in the Senate), this administration punishes middle America.
Nobody is more bullish on oil and gas than Joe Biden. Nobody.
“The Biden administration has canceled one of the most high-profile oil and gas lease opportunities pending before the Interior Department. The decision, which halts the potential to drill for oil in over 1 million acres in the Cook Inlet in Alaska, comes at a challenging political moment, when gas prices are hitting painful new highs.
In a statement shared first with CBS News, the Department of the Interior cited a “lack of industry interest in leasing in the area” for the decision to “not move forward” with the Cook Inlet lease sale. The department also halted two leases under consideration for the Gulf of Mexico region because of “conflicting court rulings that impacted work on these proposed lease sales.””

It’s almost like some foreign nation is paying them to hurt the US.
Simple way to predict what Obama’s third term will do:|
Does it hurt America?
Yes? Then Obama will do it.
In other words: Democrats.
Why not do a proper excerpt?
-
The Biden administration has canceled one of the most high-profile oil and gas
lease opportunities pending before the Interior Department.
The decision, which halts the potential to drill for oil in over 1 million acres
in the Cook Inlet in Alaska, comes at a challenging political moment,
when gas prices are hitting painful new highs.
In a statement shared first with CBS News, the Department of the Interior
cited a “lack of industry interest in leasing in the area” for the decision
to “not move forward” with the Cook Inlet lease sale.
The department also halted two leases under consideration for
the Gulf of Mexico region because of “conflicting court rulings
that impacted work on these proposed lease sales.”
Federal law requires the Department of the Interior to stick to
a five-year leasing plan for auctioning offshore leases.
The administration had until the end of the current five-year plan
— set to expire at the end of next month — to complete these lease sales.
Aren’t these leases on land that shows little profit for the drilling ?
Finally! Biden gets serious about increasing US energy supplies and bringing down energy costs!
Oh wait...
I’m sure the Ukraine war and Putin caused this, too.
Yep.
Limbaugh argued it like this: (Paraphrased)
The democrats complain when we say that they hate this country. But the question never asked is, “If you don’t hate America, how would your actions and policies be any different if you DID?”
THIRD TERM?
BO is stealthily serving a 3rd term now.
The environazis, one of the puppet master that manhandles Sock Puppet want the price of oil to go sky high and punish those who haven’t switched to electric yet.
The United States is experiencing “Death by a thousand cuts”.
This should be good for another increase of $5-$10 per barrel in the near future.
Yet the other day, the Vegetable said oil prices were too high because we were buying too much foreign oil.
Good to see him fix that imbalance.
