Multiple sources are reporting that President Joe Biden tomorrow January 6th 2025 will utilize authority granted to the President in the 1953 Outer Continental Shelf Land Act to permanently ban large swaths of land off the coastal United States in the Atlantic Ocean and the Pacific Ocean and in the Eastern Gulf of Mexico and in the Northern Bering Sea from leases and development for oil and natural gas production. This is wrong and it is disgraceful, President Biden knows how increases in petroleum products and natural gas prices can fuel inflation for he scrambled during his administration to hold these prices down to stem the inflation problem he had during his term. President Biden is doing this to try to create and bolster his reputation that he was a great President for transitioning America to renewable energy and off Fossil fuels. This could really harm America down the line especially the blocking of the eastern Gulf of Mexico from natural gas development as America's fracking shale fields deplete the American people will likely become desperate for natural gas to fill America's large needs in this area and the Gulf of Mexico has proven reserves that could fill this need, it is inconsiderate and selfish to take this action days from the end of his term it is putting the Biden legacy over the American people's interest. The Biden administration cannot cite the Obama administration protection of lands done in December of 2016 as precedent for its actions now; President Biden's actions were geared toward protecting mammal habitats and coral reefs and ecosystems and the native Alaskans culture it wasn't done to bind America's energy policy. This past November there was a Presidential election and the Democrat energy policy lost the American people chose to put the American consumer first don't burden this consumer with expensive renewable energy policy that was their decision, President Biden should respect the American voters and not subvert their will here!

This egotistical side of Joe Biden where he can do as he damn well pleases and to hell with norms and standards has been shown loud and clear since the November election and he prepares to head out the White House door. It is seen with his commutation of thirty-seven capital sentences all the federal death row inmates except three mass murderers or mass terrorist event perpetrators. Joe said he did it on principle well if the principle was so important why didn't you do it in the three and a half years before the 2024 election so the American voters could give you their view of your principle stance. Although it is not uniformly believed but the majority of people believe that having the death penalty has a deterrent effect in stopping murders and how much enormous work went into obtaining those capital sentences who the hell are you Joe when you are going out the door and the American electorate rejected your administration to void all these capital sentences. Even the pardoning of your son Hunter Biden was overboard, eighty percent was legitimate for Joe was clearly in the right at protecting his son from being treated different from anyone that did his acts but he should not have pardoned Hunter for the tax fraud cases it would have been okay to pardon or commute any prison sentences related to such crimes for a typical defendant would not have been given a prison sentence first offense and drug problem part of the cause, but, with his complete pardon he sent a message that connected people are above the law you can engage in a life of drug abuse, privilege and debauchery by not paying your taxes and get away scott free if your part of the privileged class.
 
Waste of time. It can just be overturned.
 
Given Biden's mental decline, it's not him making any decisions. The question is...what unelected piece of shit is wielding power that's not his to wield?

Every decision Biden's made since DoJ declared him incompetent to stand trial needs to be reversed and stricken from the record. Too incompetent to stand trial = too incompetent to run the nation.
 
Republicans in Florida will welcome this and fought to keep it this was for years.

  • The Eastern Gulf of Mexico is the only part of the Gulf of Mexico that is not drilled for oil and gas.

  • The area has been protected from drilling since the 1990s.

  • A moratorium on new drilling in the Eastern Gulf was imposed after the Deepwater Horizon oil spill in 2010 and is set to expire in June 2022.

  • The area is a refuge for marine wildlife, including whales, dolphins, and sea turtles.

  • Drilling in the Eastern Gulf would put Florida's beaches and tourism economy at risk.
 
He is leaving office without re supplying our oil reserves and he wants to shut off the spigot?... It makes me think he is trying to set us up for a beating....
 
But will they bother? This gives them the opening to blame the inflation they are about to cause on Joe.

I don't know a ton about this area but it seems it's where no one is looking to drill to start with. Sadly it's what Democrats do and why they are doing poorly.
