Every day in so many ways the Biden Junta keeps damaging America.



The Biden administration is moving forward with a 20-year ban on new oil and gas leasing near an Indigenous cultural site in New Mexico despite stark opposition from Native Americans in the region.

Interior Secretary Deb Haaland finalized the action Friday which bans fossil fuel and mineral leasing within a 10-mile buffer zone around the Chaco Culture National Historical Park in northwestern New Mexico. The ban ultimately amounts to a withdrawal of approximately 336,404 acres of public lands from mineral leasing near the site some Native Americans consider sacred.

However, the proposal has been met with fierce opposition from the nearby Navajo Nation, local officials and energy producers.

In 2021, Navajo Nation President Jonathan Nez and Vice President Myron Lizer penned a letter to President Biden, warning it would have a "devastating impact" on tribal members who have a financial interest in drilling in the area. And last year, the San Juan County, New Mexico, board of commissioners passed a resolution opposing the DOI administration proposal.

Native American's can't have it both ways. Too damn bad. Open another casino. Biden's "junta" :itsok: SORE LOSER
 
No disrespect to the tribe, but it appears certain members have a FINANCIAL interest at stake.
In 20 years the Tribe will be saying "you contaminated my drinking water" and guess who will be on the hook?
Not the Native American "investors". The USA tax payers will have to pay to clean up the mess. Ban it and drill elsewhere.

or GO SOLAR or install a windfarm.
