On the day that Joe Biden was sworn into office, among the record-setting flurry of executive orders he signed was a “pause” on all new drilling leases for oil and gas on federal lands. That pause was intended to provide time to “investigate” the situation but it quickly began to look as if it might be indefinite. the
That situation led a dozen of the nation’s major oil and gas producing states to take the federal government to court and have them restart the leases. The White House lost that court battle in June and they now appear to be nearly out of appeals.
A quiet announcement from the Biden administration on Tuesday indicated that they would restart the oil and gas leasing program as soon as next week and will reopen bidding for drilling permits in the Gulf of Mexico by early October.

bump!
How many billions of dollars have been lost, just to score points with Democrats?
Uh oh, gotta see the economy recover or the Democrats haven’t a prayer at all...
I guess we better start drilling oil then, since the world hates us now.
You ever get the feeling that they reversed course just because they were collapsing the economy too fast?
Those billions need to be paid back by the Democrats, from their personal holdings, properties, etc., NOT the U.S. taxpayer.
Start with the illicit payments to Hunter Biden from Chinese and Ukrainian companies.
Time to drill for oil again since the price of gasoline is creeping upward.
Biden lyin again as usual to screw us over
No, it was never intended as a pause, it was intended as a complete stoppage in order to appease Democrat environmental wackos.
I’m involved in an oil company with leases on Native American (sovereign reservation, supposedly) soil. We need to drill some oil wells. The Bureau of Land management and Bureau of Indian Affairs, both in the Department of Interior, can’t be bothered to grant any drilling permits and will not return calls. We already have the leases. Cannot drill. This is BidenHariss marxist totalitarianism in practice. Native American Secretary of Interior Deb Haaland cannot be bothered to help a Native American nation produce its own oil. Not gonna happen. It does not matter what the law or the judges say. If the administrators don’t do their jobs, then no drilling happens.
Mid terms ahead....
I expect them to do whatever is in their own self interest. There simply is too much money in American oil.
But I donno, maybe its not that at all. Maybe they can’t stop it so why not get ahead of it.

Maybe free gas for Republicans for life would be one way :)

Biden’s policies can be defined as outright sabotage.
