President Joe Biden’s Interior Department said it would cancel the oil and gas leases issued in the latter days of President Donald Trump’s administration.
Biden has said he would move to protect roughly 19.6 million acres in the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge (ANWR) for polar bears and caribou.
“As the climate crisis warms the Arctic more than twice as fast as the rest of the world, we have a responsibility to protect this treasured region for all ages,” Biden said in a written statement.
Trump issued the Alaska Industrial Development and Export Authority (AIDEA) seven leases right before Biden’s inauguration. The move is part of a larger strategy by which Biden has moved to cancel oil and gas exploration on public lands.
AIDEA said it would challenge the move.
“This latest action by the Department of the Interior shows arbitrary disregard for Federal law, based on campaign trail rhetoric. Campaign promises are not enough to justify this agency action,” AIDEA said in a statement.

Good grief. Slash and burn.
“Could you explain. I don’t see that had anything to do with Ukraine.”
Plays right into PUTIN’S hands - gonna piss off the Leftists (Ukraine War supporters).
Biden does what he’s told to do he’s to F’n stupid to do anything on his own except make up stories that never happened.
PHOOEY to biden and to all climate jockeys!!!!
F this guy and his horse.
Where is the Republican Party in this? AWOL, with the exception of a few, it seems.
“Hold on to your butts!”
You thought fuel of all kinds was expensive LAST winter? We ain’t seen nothin’ yet!
On the Bright Side, eggs and milk are back to fairly normal prices here in the Midwest. Butter still needs to come down some.
Of course, we’ll have no FUEL to COOK anything, as Brandon wants to ban our stoves, so I guess it’s Brandy-laced Eggnog all Winter! *SMIRK*
Must not be too worried about stealing the election if Biden going to pull something like this
Everything he/Obama are doing is to the detriment of this country. I wonder what his end game is?
What good are leases if an idiot just cancels them?
Republicans purr like kittens and do as they are commanded.
democrat party government is evil.
Get rid of those evil oil using vehicles but there will be no electricity either for the brink EV in your driveway Oh wait they’ll stop you from owning any transport except a Bicycle
There appears to be no end to what the Obama/Biden wrecking team can find to trash. If this doesn’t stop in 2024 we are done for. I sense a ‘hurry up and finish our agenda’ going on right now by the Commies.
Biden is trying to shutdown the Permian fields over a 2” lizard. 40% of the US production.
These Commie COWARDS don't have the GUTS to tell us the REAL reason they are doing this which is to KILL AMERICA as quickly as possible so the Soros/WEF/China CABAL can FILL THE VOID. The ONLY thing standing in the way of WORLD GOVERNMENT is America and its Capitalist Republic SO THEY ARE HELLBENT ON KILLING IT.
If it ain’t broke don’t fix it.
The Republicans aren’t AWOL.
The are aiding and abetting Deep State.
