The Interior Department will not move forward with planned oil and gas lease sales in the Gulf of Mexico and Alaska’s Cook Inlet, it announced Wednesday night.
A spokesperson for the department confirmed the Cook Inlet lease sale would not proceed due to insufficient industry interest. Meanwhile, the planned sale of two leases, lease 259 and lease 261, in the Gulf of Mexico will not proceed due to contradictory court rulings on the leases, the spokesperson confirmed.
Shortly after taking office, President Biden signed an executive order freezing all new oil and gas leasing on federal lands. Last summer, Judge James Cain, a Trump appointee, struck down the ruling, prompting the Biden administration to appeal.
Meanwhile, in January, the Washington, D.C., District Court invalidated another Gulf of Mexico lease sold by the federal government, lease 257. The administration is not appealing the January ruling, although it affects a separate lease from the ones named by the Interior spokesperson.
The Alaska lease would have covered more than 1 million acres. The federal Bureau of Ocean Energy Management previously canceled lease sales in the area in 2006, 2008 and 2010, also citing lack of interest from industry at the time.

I was at the plant store the yesterday, and the majority of people shopping were all bitching loudly about the costs of everything. Comments such as “we are not fools”, “the election was stolen”, “He did this”, “dementia idiot”, “this is what happens when democrats are elected”, “remember carter?” etc.
Last week the same happened at the grocery store and gas station. People are pissed. The republicans were not immune from the same type of comments.
I’d pray for a DOG’S health over any one of these Commies, any day. I’m sure I’m not alone.
Prayers up for your Best Friend.
Democraps LOVE Big Oil. Big Oil will publicly complain about things under democraps but then report record annual earnings.
Oil prices always go up under democraps.
And rank and file Rs (including HERE) don’t care enough to call their congressman and demand McCarthy resign as Minority Leader.
Which means IF they win the house, McCarthy becomes Majority Leader and prevents any serious vengeance.
Yes, vengeance is what I want. No more of those “just get along” crap. Burn the bridges, salt the earth. Put a million dems in jail.
“Biden is Putin’s puppet. Prove me wrong.”
“I’ll prove you wrong. You cannot have two puppet masters and Xi already has the contract.”
I couldn’t have said it better!
Really shameful what the GOP is doing, disappointing as expected. I will only vote for American First Republican candidates.
I doubt it. He isn’t Putin’s puppet, but he is the puppet of the WEF and the Davos crowd. At this point they are much more powerful than Putin or Russia.
Biden is a worse enemy to the country than Putin. Hard to imagine how we can survive the next tree years with this demented, corrupt POS.
Yep. My ticket ha been split more often than not between MAGA-types, Libertarians and writing in ‘Ralph Nader’ or ‘Snoopy’ when applicable.
I refuse to give The Enemy on EITHER side any quarter! :)
Still, our best defense is a good offense. Work locally to get decent people a foothold to go on to bigger and better things, later. We ALL need to do that at home, especially for Sheriff, School Board members and Governors.
Putin just isn’t as powerful as some people must believe. The Soviet Union and the Red Army are no more. Russia is just what the neocons use to hold your attention so you won’t notice the other horrid things they are doing.
This fear of a weakened Russia takes all eyes off of the real foreign enemy China, who actually has been purchasing the US.
The most dangerous enemy is already here in Washington DC. We sent people off to war to keep from happening in the US what our own leaders are doing right now to the United States.
The Russian economy is smaller than Canada and barely ahead of Australia
That squirrely schmuck is nothing more than the dog barking on the porch. The man behind the door is none other than the magic negro himself, OBAMA.! Doing whatever he can do to screw-up everything he can screw-up in this nation.. (spit)
Bert it is all relative to the cost of living. Russia is a highly developed industrialized nation capable of producing weapons in great quantities. They did not “offshore”.
No, it is not
I know, but the warmongers around here aren’t interested in facts. So......they make numerous trips to the Daily Mail dump to prop up Joey’s war and #1 excuse for why America is in the toilet.
Brandon/Obama want high gas prices to FORCE people to Batteries. It’s that simple.
I just don’t know how to heat my home with Batteries.
Russia Per Capita Income
PPP=$25,763
Nominal =$10,846
What is PPP?
"Gross Domestic Product (GDP) per capita shows a country's GDP divided by its total population. The table below lists countries in the world ranked by GDP at Purchasing Power Parity (PPP) per capita, along with the Nominal GDP per capita. PPP takes into account the relative cost of living, rather than using only exchange rates, therefore providing a more accurate picture of the real differences in income."
The GOP is the problem too
Obama governed against the will of the American people for 8 years with biden by his side.
Same same again.
That is the case. When Biden and his handlers allow the sale of a lease, but refuse to issue drilling permits, then the whole thing is useless.
