Sounds like they may realize the catastrophe they caused by shutting down domestic production, perhaps planning for a major war in the coming years.

not to mention drawing down the SPR (even selling some of that oil to China!)

Reactionary?
No.
The Biden Regime sold out America.
The Regime and its handlers NO LONGER represent our Republic.
The Regime will do NOTHING to help America and its LEGAL citizens.
Do not be fooled
This is not a test.
This is war against America’s legal citizens.

Not mentioned in the blurb - Biden is banning all further exploration and drilling on the North slope.

Make the announcement and get the credit. The Deep State will slow walk all the regulation approvals which will take years, and then kill it by process.

Exactly.

That’s my question too. They put the shiny object upfront, the downside will be hidden and massive.

Oil Price is down, domestic production is maintaining an output of >12 million barrels a day and with that, there will not be a rush to expand Alaska production.

Don’t underestimate the gullible stupid sheeples! He’ll sign a bill and as soon as he gets reelected, he’ll condemn the drilling and blame the republicans. The rats are notorious for promising the world, and once they’re reelected they pull the rug underneath the idiot sheeples.

“More evidence that Biden is serious about running for re-election. Kinda late though”

He’s “moving to the middle” because The Electorate’s memory is so incredibly short...

Not unless there is a global issue that makes it strategically necessary, like a war.

What’s the catch......there’s ALWAYS catch with these people.......another opportunity to screw Americans perhaps?

The catch, as I understand it, is that there were five drilling locations proposed. That amount would allow for a profitable business venture. They're moving to allow three, the bare minimum to be worth moving forward with the project.

If they only allow two, the venture is a money loser and they won't build, but Biden can say he approved the project.

If they allow three, it can be billed as a huge success politically, and then if something happens later, it can be billed as a corporate greed problem, not a political one.

“Approval” by this child sniffing pervert won’t produce a single drop of oil. He knows his bureaucrats will shut it down for him while he can can pound his podium claiming he is the energy president.

“ He probably got a cut”

Since SloJo just put millions of acres out of bounds for oil production, all one has to do is see which oil companies benefit from this new project and which ones got screwed by the other decisions. The winners won’t forget 10% for the Big Guy.

Teapot Dome, anyone?
