Q: did Biden cancel oil leases? Did trump cancel oil leases?Canceled Leases
Yes — both presidents canceled or halted certain energy leases
Examples:
- In 2021, his administration suspended Trump-era oil leases in the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge (ANWR) pending environmental review.
- In 2023, the administration canceled the remaining ANWR oil and gas leases that had been issued during Trump’s final days in office.
+ Restricting Exploration + Restricting Infrastructure + Increased Regulations all put more costs on domestic energy companies during Obama and Biden. Compare the average price per gallon of gas during the four year terms of Bush and Trump vs Obama and Biden. Obama and Biden averaged higher gas prices.
