Joe Says No: Biden White House Blocks New Atlantic, Pacific Oceans Drilling as Global Energy Demand Soars
Breitbart ^ | July 3, 2022 | SIMON KENT

Posted on 07/04/2022 6:54:36 AM PDT by lowbridge

U.S. President Joe Biden has proposed blocking all new drilling in the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans as the world cries out for more energy from more sources far from Russia, the Middle East, and the OPEC oil cartel.

Biden is also moving to shut down exploration and production of oil and gas on onshore federal lands while acknowledging the importance of fossil fuels in the U.S. energy landscape, as Breitbart News reported.

A plan released Friday shows the White House proposed no more than 10 potential lease sales in the Gulf of Mexico, an option for one potential lease sale in the northern portion of the Cook Inlet of Alaska, and no lease sales for the Atlantic or Pacific planning areas over the 2023-2028 period.

UPI reports this is not a final determination of what sales will be included, but any area or sale not included in the proposal will be off-limits during the five-year period, the Department of Interior’s Board of Ocean Energy Management noted.

During a legislative session earlier this year, Democrats had urged Biden to do more to stop offshore drilling in the Gulf of Mexico.

In contrast to public statements he’s been instructed to make, they’re doing everything in his power to KEEP energy prices HIGH.

Just like they said they would do.

I assume it’s more than just Biden and the loudmouths that object to fossil fuels. Next election will give us some visibility.

How is this possible? Only Congress can make laws. A president is not a dictator.

This has to be right wing fake news.

King Brandon-I told us himself that he is doing everything he can to bring down gas and oil prices.

Kind of surprised that Biden didn’t allow drilling in the Atlantic, but only off shore of Mar a Lago.

If the Biden admin and the Democrat party don’t get their ass handed to them on a plate in Nov., someone needs to secure the Dominion voting machines the instant the polls close and demand a hand count and verification of every single mail-in ballot. The GOP needs to start working for its members, not just talk-the-talk.

This! We are at war with an enemy from within. It's not just minor differences in opinion. It's entirely different incompatible philosophies of life.

I would not be at all surprised to learn that FJB and his “climate change” advisors did this because they truly believe that poking holes in the ocean floor will cause some of the water to drain out, thus slowing the “rise of the oceans” which directly conflicts with one of the primary climate delusions of the Democrat/Communist Party.

This is Very Bad News. Locks in Marxist Greenies sway over energy and drilling for 5 years.
