FIRST ON FOX: The Biden administration acknowledged in a memo, accidentally leaked on Friday, that charging fossil fuel companies less to drill would provide "greater energy security" despite its plans to hike royalty fees.

Former Bureau of Ocean Energy Management (BOEM) Director Amanda Lefton recommended late last year that, as part of its climate agenda, the Department of the Interior (DOI) move forward with higher royalty fees for an oil and gas lease sale spanning 958,202 acres in the Cook Inlet off the coast of Alaska, according to the memo obtained by Fox News Digital. DOI Assistant Secretary Laura Daniel-Davis ultimately signed off on the recommendation.

"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," Lefton wrote in the memo.

Natural gas in Alabama up 19% over last year. Electricity per kWh up 20.8% (in part from Alabama Power having to depend more on nat gas plants with coal plants being forced shut down by Obama).

But the Dims are going to raise energy costs anyway. And for some reason my fellow conservatives in my neighborhood and church will still wonder why I have lots of solar and an EV.

I think I read that China was bringing on 1368 coal power plants last year or this year. At least they will be able to charge their EVs.

She was destined to become a commie with a name like that.

Black and white movies had some incredible impact visually.

That scene right there would lose a lot of its impact if
they colorized it.

Agree.

The contrasts, the shadows, just perfect.
