Federal Judge Blocks Biden’s Moratorium On New Oil and Gas Leases

MAGA Conservatives- A federal judge in Louisiana just handed Joe Biden a big loss and issued a preliminary injunction blocking the Biden administration from halting new oil and gas leases on federal land. The Judge said in his ruling that the White House did not give any “rational explanation” for implementing the moratorium.

US District Judge Terry Doughty sided with 13 states in granting the nationwide injunction. The states challenging the ban were Louisiana, Alabama, Alaska, Arkansas, Georgia, Mississippi, Missouri, Montana, Nebraska, Oklahoma, Texas, Utah, and West Virginia.

“Millions and possibly billions of dollars are at stake,” Doughty wrote. “Local government funding, jobs for Plaintiff State workers, and funds for the restoration of Louisiana’s Coastline are at stake. Plaintiff States have a reliance interest in the proceeds derived from offshore and on land oil and gas lease sales.” more
