Biden admin misses major oil lease deadline: 'an absolute disgrace'
MSN ^

Posted on 07/01/2022 8:58:42 AM PDT by TigerClaws

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."

I looks like that they are doing “build back better” anyway.

Ruling against the wishes of the American public.

It was deliberate ...

It is. The lack of Republican push back on Biden is also deliberate.

Okay, now I’ve seen enough. I believe when seeing that Biden let those oil lease sales go by without doing anything, it convinces me that he is trying to take down this country, even to include what he is doing with inflation. My wife and I are retired. We are on a fixed income now. We are not reduced to eating dogfood yet, but we no longer can afford to eat like we used to. Last night at dinner time, we made due with watermelon and cookies. That is not every night but we certainly are living on less and Biden says we should take it because it is for a good cause. What a jerk he is!
