The Biden administration did not give an explanation after it missed its own deadline to plan future oil and gas lease sales Thursday.
Interior Secretary Deb Haaland vowed during a Senate hearing on May 19 to issue a legally-mandated program outlining proposed offshore lease sales over the next five years by Thursday. On Wednesday, Interior Department (DOI) spokesperson Melissa Schwartz confirmed the agency was "on track" to issue the plan by Thursday, according to E&E News.
FIRST OIL SALES ON PUBLIC LAND UNDER BIDEN NET $22 MILLION FROM ENERGY COMPANIES
Schwartz declined to comment on the delay in response to a Fox News Digital inquiry. The White House did not respond to a request for comment.
An announcement was slated to take place Thursday, but was pushed back for an unknown reason, administration officials told Reuters on Friday.
"President Biden is hell-bent on choking off American oil and natural gas production," Senate Energy and Natural Resources Committee Ranking Member John Barrasso, R-Wyo., told Fox News Digital in a statement. "Now he has failed to follow the law and prepare a final five-year leasing plan by yesterday’s deadline. That means the federal government will not offer any new offshore oil and gas lease sales this year."

Where’s my shocked face???
Do we really need an ‘explanation’
It was deliberate ...
Also, are the leases on “productive” land, or dry hole leases like an earlier lease auction?
It doesn’t say where it is, just offshore. It could be anywhere. Not all acreage up for lease is in a good area.
They had no intention of releasing the leases. They have enacted the green new deal without a single vote. People are in misery and have choose between gas food or medicine. The MSM protects the rats from getting the blame as much as they can.
The plan is $10 gasoline.
Democrats complaining about their Green New Squeal?
If our enemies had planted a ‘stooge’ in the position of president of the United States, with the intention of destroying the country from within, could they have come up with anyone to do a better job than what Joseph R. Biden has been doing ?
The only thing that explains this level of stupid is someone is whispering in Joe’s brain dead ear that history will be kind to him as the father of the New Green deal.
He is simply a patsy for Obama’s third term. No pain for Zero and Joe think he will be written up in the history books as a hero.
IIRC there’s a lawsuit involved here somewhere. It’s time a judge or two started jailing Cabinet members for contempt of court.

No source (MSN is a aggregator), no author, no date, why not?
We can now be sure of one thing, gas prices are likely never going down. Russia, or no Russia. Supply chain, or no supply chain. This is deliberate, and it is going to be extremely tough to turn around.
Mission accomplished.
This administration is bound and determined to destroy the Republic so they can Build Back Better. If they can destroy the middle class and disarm law abiding citizens, the they can create the perfect socialist America ... with them in total control of course.
This smells to high heavens and the stench is coming from one Community Organizer/Hate America scum with Hussein as his middle name. This is how they operate and they’re very good at it.
Biden does what he’s told to do.
President Biden is hell-bent on choking off American oil and natural gas production.
One way to kill of his party (no loss) and any hopes of his new green deal he will find out just how powerless he is to much big money with power not on his side.
