Following President Trump’s planned eleven OCS lease sales, Biden proposed only three, one each in 2025, 2027, and 2029. Biden wanted even fewer sales; .. blaming the courts for stopping him from a total shut down of oil and gas leasing in the Gulf of Mexico.

Federal courts have done just that. One court proclaimed Biden’s oil and gas leasing "pause," both onshore and off-shore, illegal back in June 2021. Last month, another federal court stopped Biden from reducing the acres offered in an upcoming OCS sale following a sweetheart deal with radical environment groups, the terms of which were not disclosed.

A Terms of Service agreement between Big Oil and it’s distributors prohibiting any and all deliveries or sales within 300 miles of DC, would get this ball rolling.

The political risk of drilling and producing oil and gas in the US is among the highest risk places in the world. That is why you see Exxon buying Pioneer, with huge private and state lands inventory to drill, and Chevron buying Hess with its overseas development projects.

The policy in question is not “wrong headed”. It is a deliberate act of war against enemy number one. Americans.

They don't care: They've got the 2024 election sewed up - same vote fraud tactics used in 2020.

Dims seem unconcerned that gas and food prices are at record high levels, inflation is raging, the border is wide open to the 3rd world and at least six million have poured across, crime is rampant in our cities, businesses are closing...
