Federal judge cites climate impact in revoking Gulf of Mexico oil lease sale

[excalibur]

A federal judge appointed by Øbama.

The energy stupidy from leftoids continues.

...

A spokeswoman for Interior Secretary Deb Haaland said the agency was reviewing the decision.

Energy companies including Shell, BP, Chevron and ExxonMobil offered a combined $192 million for drilling rights on federal oil and gas reserves in the Gulf of Mexico in November.

The Interior Department auction came after attorneys general from Republican states led by Louisiana successfully challenged a suspension on sales that Biden imposed when he took office.

Companies bid on 308 tracts totaling nearly 2,700 square miles (6,950 square kilometers). It marked the largest acreage and second-highest bid total since Gulf-wide bidding resumed in 2017.


...

In his 68-page ruling, Contreras said Interior failed to consider the greenhouse gas emissions that would result from the lease sale, violating the National Environmental Policy Act, a bedrock environmental law.​

According to the Houston Chronicle over 100 US oil companies declared bankruptcy in 2020.

We gotta stop messing with real current energy sources over some dubious, theoretical, potential future impacts. The planet has been going to die any minute since 1975. Emotive alarmism designed to control.

I didn't know we had 100 oil companies...but... a lot of businesses had to reorganize their debt due to covid shutdowns...not surprising...you can continue to act like covid shutdowns didn't happen but everyone else here knows they did and what they caused.... I bet every one of those companies is back up and running today....

You do a lot of stretching to make the Trump years look poor...and you are not pulling it off....
If I had to do that much twisting to make Biden look bad I would come to the conclusion that he isn't so bad after all...so what's your problem?....

There are 100s of upstream and downstream oil and gas companies based in the United States varying from large international players such as ExxonMobil and Chevron Corp., right down to small, single-play, domestic focused companies. The Evaluate Energy database provides coverage of every single publicly listed U.S. upstream and downstream oil and gas company, providing clients with all their production data, key financial performance metrics, M&A deals and much more.

Sorry. Most US wells produce less than 50 barrels a day. Neither Exxon nor Chevron are interested in that.

Doesn't change the facts. The US has always had lots of small oil companies and wells that produce tiny amounts.

We have no economies of scale and the highest lift costs in the world. For US producers it's always boom and bust.

Energy is a global enterprise...slow production here and costs go up...this doesn't necessarily mean oil companies are getting rich...their costs are up too....
Your time would be better spent writing Biden and asking him to go back to Trump's energy policy until this war is over....
