The Biden administration strayed further from American energy independence once again, as the Department of Interior canceled two oil and gas lease sales in Alaska and the Gulf of Mexico, The Hill reported.
There was “lack of industry interest in leasing in the area” of Cook Inlet, Alaska, the department said in a statement to Axios.
In the Gulf of Mexico, the DOI cited legal complications as reasons not to go through with two lease sales. “The Department also will not move forward with lease sales 259 and 261 in the Gulf of Mexico region, as a result of delays due to factors including conflicting court rulings that impacted work on these proposed lease sales,” the statement said.
While the Alaska situation seems to be fairly routine, the Gulf of Mexico decision appears to be the administration’s way of throwing in the towel and handing another victory to left-wing environmental groups.
The administration’s decision to cancel more oil and gas lease sales is bound to draw scrutiny from conservatives and Republican lawmakers, as there is currently a major push to pump more oil in the United States amid the Russia-Ukraine war and high gas prices.

$4.79 this morning. Was $2.16 before trump was cheated outmof office
Trump won. You know it. I know it.
Biden fiddling while this Country burns.
Very much doubt that the demented, corrupt Biden has a clue what the green lunatics who run him are doing or the poverty and hunger that are the consequences of their war on fossil fuels.
That should fix the gas prices. Enjoy your runaway inflation America.
Biden administration still using their verbal gymnastics game going to pimp their utopia communist dream afloat while chaos ensues for everyone.
Rome is burning again Jim
Ive got china money riding on the electric car thing. Y’all wont buy ‘em, so I’ll make gas too expensive. You’ll be begging for electric cars. - the biden administration
And now, every day will be Earth Day, or, as P.J. O’Rourke called it, Dirt and Squalor Day.
It shows again that pure ideologues, whose entire world is the DC bubble, are in charge of the meat-puppet Biden
Oh hell yeah…Make America Grovel…
I’m sure Jen Psaki and/or her replacement, will again parrot the line that there are so many leases out there where drilling hasn’t yet been done, that this action doesn’t affect our overall energy situation.
Without oil and gas we cannot make fertilizer, insecticides and herbicides. Without oil and gas we cannot power tractors, haul the harvest to food processing plants and distribute food to grocery stores.
This has to be intentional.
And when we hear of starvation in the third world this fall the government will print money, buy up our food and send it overseas.
Doesn’t matter since Brandon and Co. made it impossible to get a permit.
The cost of airline tickets has doubled in the past year...
Last year a round trip BKK to IAD was less than $900. This year it is about $1,800+.
I dread the cost of driving I’m going to need to do when I come back on my annual family visit.
Yeah everything is going outmof sight. Im just afraid that business will get a taste of the higher prices, and not want to go back to whatntheynwere before bidenflstion drove everything into the crapper. This happens every time a liberal takes the white house either by hook or by crook. You would think America would learn how awful the democrat .party is and vote them all out,for decades, till thye can prove thrmselves trustworthy. May our midterms win big for,the right sending a clear message
I remember paying $99 for a people’s airline ticket once... back in the 80’s. No frills cheap flights.
All according to plan - the “green” agenda!!
FBJ and his handlers are forking lunatics. Let’s go Brandon!
It IS INTENTIONAL!!
One has to be blind deaf and stupid!
The Great Reset is upon us.
Pray hard...cause our lives depend on it.
