The Interior Department will not move forward with planned oil and gas lease sales in the Gulf of Mexico and Alaska’s Cook Inlet, it announced Wednesday night.
A spokesperson for the department confirmed the Cook Inlet lease sale would not proceed due to insufficient industry interest. Meanwhile, the planned sale of two leases, lease 259 and lease 261, in the Gulf of Mexico will not proceed due to contradictory court rulings on the leases, the spokesperson confirmed.
Shortly after taking office, President Biden signed an executive order freezing all new oil and gas leasing on federal lands. Last summer, Judge James Cain, a Trump appointee, struck down the ruling, prompting the Biden administration to appeal.
Meanwhile, in January, the Washington, D.C., District Court invalidated another Gulf of Mexico lease sold by the federal government, lease 257. The administration is not appealing the January ruling, although it affects a separate lease from the ones named by the Interior spokesperson.
The Alaska lease would have covered more than 1 million acres. The federal Bureau of Ocean Energy Management previously canceled lease sales in the area in 2006, 2008 and 2010, also citing lack of interest from industry at the time.
Of course it would have sailed through if it benefited the Golden Child, Ukraine…
I wish I could explode heads like they did in “Scanners”
At this point it time, NOBODY can trust the word of the US Government. Not a good position to be in.
Why use American oil, when he can funnel money through Hunter’s oil interests.
Nothing to see here, move along…
How screwed up can a country be when a District court thousands of miles away can claim authority and issue rulings on land it really doesn’t know anything about?
But then again how can a government never truly elected do the same? Biden is an illegal president and the 2020 election was stolen.
These motherfuckers will bend over backwards for a lowly snail-darter yet vote to abort a live baby as it comes out of the womb…
EVIL Fuckers need to pay!
Tucker put dems & r’s on BLAST tonight for bullshit like this.
It honestly makes me sick to my stomach.
Seriously, there should be angry citizens scaling the walls in DC ready to kill just like the Zombies did in Jerusalem in World War Z.
We are the frogs in a slowly heating pan of water.
We have ALL the right on earth to collective attack those that wish to harm us.
It’s THIS bad:

Anon, yes, it proves that NOTHING is beneath ANY of the 17 “intelligence agencies” that we fund.
I’m certain Scary Poppins will call this out…
Let’s face it, it’s over.
We had a good run.
You can’t sell electric cars if we have affordable gasoline.
It’s all part of the Green Agenda. Marxist Democrats would prefer to tank America one way or the other. Either way, they win.
In addition, it was recently discovered that Joe Biden ordered pallets of baby formula be sent to detention centers for Mexican illegals the slob allowed in to cross over—all while American babies starve. Biden also ordered the US FDA to limit baby formula against Americans.
Jackass Joe justifies all this by procliaming that he is a “child of God”!
… as all emmisaries of Satan might say, I suppose.
Worst President ever was given the boot, just ask Ms Lindsey, she knows who was best for America.
What would they do differently if they WEREN’T trying to kill us off?
Time to return dislike for dislike.
“The Alaska lease would have covered more than 1 million acres. The federal Bureau of Ocean Energy Management previously canceled lease sales in the area in 2006, 2008 and 2010, also citing lack of interest from industry at the time”
All this means is that the government wasn’t going to get as much money from the lease sales as it wanted. Lease sales are another one of those hidden taxes the energy companies pass along to the consumer. how long will it be before the government begins taxing wind and sunlight? Owners of windmills and solar panels beware!
