Biden shuts down ANWR & Keystone-XL, but now is opening up the Gulf of Mexico with oil leases larger than the state of FLORIDA???
"The Biden administration is preparing to sell off more than 80 million acres of the Gulf of Mexico to oil and gas drilling companies in the largest federal offshore drilling auction in U.S. history—less than a week after the UN climate change conference COP26, where nearly 200 nations promised to reduce fossil fuel emissions.
The annual Gulf of Mexico lease sale is planned for November 17 in New Orleans.
The 80 million acres on sale is expected to produce around 1.12 billion barrels of oil and 4.2 cubic feet of natural gas over the next 50 years."
YET BIDEN STOPPED DRILLING IN ANWR and the KEYSTONE-XL Pipeline??
On his first day in the White House, President Joe Biden issued an executive order placing a temporary ban on the leases. Citing the "legal deficiencies" of the current program and "inadequacy" of the previous review, Secretary Deb Haaland suspended all activities in the region on Tuesday, pending a comprehensive analysis."
