President Biden Backtracks on Oil and Gas Pledge, Rescinds Existing Drilling Permits
H. Sterling Burnett
March 11, 2021
 

The U.S. Department of Interior (DOI), now under the control of new President Joe Biden, has revoked 70 oil and gas drilling permits approved in the waning days of the Trump administration.

The permits were revoked because they had been approved by DOI professional staff rather than political appointees, said Melissa Schwartz, DOI’s newly appointed communications director.

“Approximately 70 permits were approved without proper review following the issuance of a department directive that temporarily elevates review of permitting activities,” Interior spokeswoman Melissa Schwartz said in an email. “Operators have been notified that those [applications] must be resubmitted for appropriate and timely review.”

Just wait unitl this country becomes completely reliant on petrochemical derivative  imports due to feedstock manufacture shortages.

Not approved by political appointees? What happened to "follow the science"?

Ohhhh wait, that means the right palms didn't get greased before the permits were issued. That's cause for an immediate do-over. F'n crooks!

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

"It just gets worse."

Citizen comrades, you need to understand.

Now that the Party is in control, it must be realized that EVERY government decision has political ramifications. Agencies of the government and those employees of such agencies may no longer be qualified to comply with nor understand such ramifications.

Thus, the need for all policy decisions to come under the review of designated political officers, to ensure that the goals and ideals of the Party are sufficiently promulgated.

Forward !
