"Green Joe" all set to auction off 80,000,000 acres of oil leases in the Gulf of Mexico?! WTF?? (Poll)

You are only just now hearing about this?
I guess you've only been listening to propagandists who blame Biden for high oil prices.
Biden has also approved more oil leases than Trump did.

1. This is a 2-month old thread that was reactivated for some reason.
2. Biden did cause high oil prices with his war on energy.
3. True Xiden approved more oil leases on public land than Trump. But he shuts down pipelines and ANWR?!

Joe Biden Is Making Donald Trump Look Like an Environmentalist

The Biden administration has approved more fossil fuel drilling permits than the average amount approved every year of Trump’s presidency except 2020.

President Joe Biden has pitched himself as a presidential version of Captain Planet. His campaign climate plan included “banning new oil and gas leasing on public lands and waters.” But a new report shows he’s approving fossil fuel leases on public lands at a faster clip than his climate-denying predecessor, Donald Trump.

The analysis comes from Public Citizen, which found Biden’s Bureau of Land Management approved an average of 336 new fossil fuel drilling permits per month in 2021. That’s more than the average amount approved every year of Trump’s presidency except 2020, and 40% higher than the average approved during Trump’s first year in office. Biden’s 2021 drilling approvals peaked in April when there were 652 approvals. This is happening despite the Biden administration implementing a leasing pause. (It’s been challenged in court, but the legal setbacks don’t mean the administration has to lease land—in theory.)

Biden shuts down ANWR & Keystone-XL, but now is opening up the Gulf of Mexico with oil leases larger than the state of FLORIDA???

MSN

"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??

Biden administration suspends Trump-era oil and gas drilling leases in Arctic National Wildlife Refuge​

"The Biden administration is suspending oil and gas drilling leases in the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge, reversing one of former President Donald Trump's final environmental decisions before leaving office. The administration plans to further explore the environmental impacts of drilling in the fragile Alaskan region.
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."

Like our food supply---selling it to the chinese or soros (via Petrobas or whatever else.)
