Biden's Renewable Energy Rush Is Making Gas Prices Skyrocket

[Lesh]

WASHINGTON— New federal data shows the Biden administration approved 3,557 permits for oil and gas drilling on public lands in its first year, far outpacing the Trump administration’s first-year total of 2,658.

Nearly 2,000 of the drilling permits were approved on public lands administered by the Bureau of Land Management’s New Mexico office, followed by 843 in Wyoming, 285 in Montana and North Dakota, and 191 in Utah. In California, the Biden administration approved 187 permits — more than twice the 71 drilling permits Trump approved in that state in his first year.

How exactly did Biden "shut down production"?

Numerous examples have been posted in this forum.

More lame duck shenanigan's reversed. From you link,

The U.S. Bureau of Land Management, an Interior Department agency, held a lease sale for the refuge’s coastal plain on Jan. 6, two weeks before Biden took office. Eight days later the agency signed leases for nine tracts totaling nearly 685 square miles (1,770 square kilometers). However, the issuance of the leases was not announced publicly until Jan. 19, former President Donald Trump’s last full day in office.

.........................................

More action is needed, Miller said, calling for a permanent cancellation of the leases and repeal of the 2017 law mandating drilling in the refuge’s coastal plain.

The drilling mandate was included in a massive tax cut approved by congressional Republicans during Trump’s first year in office. Republicans said it could generate an estimated $1 billion over 10 years, a figure Democrats call preposterously overstated.

Sen. Maria Cantwell, D-Wash., a longtime opponent of drilling in the refuge, accused the Trump administration of trying to “shortcut environmental laws.″ The effort “fell apart when exposed to the facts that federal scientists say Arctic Refuge drilling cannot be done safely and oil companies don’t want to drill there,” Cantwell said.

Ot doesn't matter how you justify it. The fact remains that Biden canceled drilling permits.

You've claimed he didn't. I proved that he did.

Agree. Renewables power your residence and physical plants...not automobiles.

They power EV's.

Those were brand new leases. There was no application for a drilling permit filed on those leases much less an actual permit that was canceled. They have to do some geophysical surveying, don't they? To know where to drill?

But then there are the 3500 he approved...or the 9,000 sitting unused

Thank you for agreeing that Biden shutdown drilling. That wasn't hard. Was it?

A drilling permit is required to explore.

Show us the lease map of those leases and find for us the application dates.

Geophysical surveys have a separate permitting process.

They power EV's.

They charge the batteries that power your EV...yes.

OK?

Tips to save on gas expenses:

• inflate your tires
• reduce your speed
• try to reduce braking by anticipating red lights and stop signs
• don't carry extra weight
• don't vote Democrat

The last one is more effective than everything else combined.

Biden's renewable energy rush is making gas prices skyrocket

The man is determined to wreck this country

The "man" is doing both today--oil production and developing renewable energy. Hardly a wrecking job, yes?

The last one makes no sense in the scheme of things, but keep flapping.

Not voting for wacko greenie democrats is the best way to insure bountiful energy at affordable prices

it was dem stupidity that caused the current price of gas

Wrong. Yes, Biden is promoting the development of alternative energy. Our oil sales have not declined, and are in process of being ramped up. We can walk and chew gum at the same time.
Unfortunately, some uninformed people can't see the forest for the trees.
