BPR: An internal climate agenda memo from the Biden administration was accidentally leaked on Friday, and its explosive contents have “appalled” Sen. Joe Manchin (D-W.Va.).
In the memo, obtained by Fox News Digital (FND), Biden’s administration acknowledged that Americans would enjoy “greater energy security” if fossil fuel companies were charged less to drill, but because of the “serious challenges” our country is facing from “climate change,” they decided to hike the royalty fees for an oil and gas lease sale that encompassed 958,202 acres in the Cook Inlet off Alaska’s coast anyway.
“If a Cook Inlet prospect would be developed, there would be additional government revenues and greater energy security for the State of Alaska, especially if development of natural gas resources in the Cook Inlet ameliorated the long-term supply challenges facing the Anchorage area,” Former Bureau of Ocean Energy Management (BOEM) Director Amanda Lefton wrote late last year in the memo.
“Nevertheless,” she continued, “because of the serious challenges facing the Nation from climate change and the impact of [greenhouse gasses] from fossil fuels, BOEM is not recommending this option since it would not include an appropriate surcharge to account for those impacts.” more here
I am so sick of this EcoScam. I’m old enough to remember the original Global Cooling Hoax of the 1970s.
Meanwhile, China gets to do as it damn well pleases while the US, who has done more to cuts its ‘greenhouse emissions” than anyone else, gets to bend over without the benefit of soap.
But it’s Joe manchin….nothing is so appalling it can’t be smoothed over with some cash

That’s why he was “appalled”. He didn’t get a cut.

Me too.
BTW, How’re the acid rain and the hole in the ozone layer problems doing? We seem to have forgotten about them somehow.
If it was a victory, we would be having it shoved down our throat all the time as proof they know what they’re doing.
You cannot be surprised when evil people use lies for evil purposes.
Especially if you’re one of them.
“Global Warming®” and “Climate Change®” should always appear in quotation marks and include the trademark symbol. (whatever ASCII symbol it is) or at least followed by [sic] to indicate a knowingly transcribed error.
Don’t forget the population bomb.
No thanks to that false scaremonger Paul Ehrlich.
Making noises in the hopes we all forget his blithering idiocy committed earlier?
The African killer bees are going to kill us all.
Natural gas burns pretty clean, I think it’s just because it goes hand in hand with oil production is why the green weenies hate it so much.
Suck it, Manchin. You have a big share of responsibility for the clown show.
With all the Climate Change that’s been happening since cars were required to have catalytic converters installed, you think there might be a correlation?
