Biden to Cancel Alaska Oil, Gas Leases Issued Under Trump

Sean Moran 8 Sep 2023

President Joe Biden’s Interior Department said it would cancel the oil and gas leases issued in the latter days of President Donald Trump’s administration.

Biden has said he would move to protect roughly 19.6 million acres in the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge (ANWR) for polar bears and caribou.

“As the climate crisis warms the Arctic more than twice as fast as the rest of the world, we have a responsibility to protect this treasured region for all ages,” Biden said in a written statement.

Trump issued the Alaska Industrial Development and Export Authority (AIDEA) seven leases right before Biden’s inauguration. The move is part of a larger strategy by which Biden has moved to cancel oil and gas exploration on public lands.

AIDEA said it would challenge the move.

“This latest action by the Department of the Interior shows arbitrary disregard for Federal law, based on campaign trail rhetoric. Campaign promises are not enough to justify this agency action,” AIDEA said in a statement.

Republicans slammed Biden’s move to develop oil and gas in Alaska.

“There is palpable anger and frustration among Alaskans about the Biden administration’s unrelenting assault on our economy and our ability to lawfully access our lands,” Sen. Dan Sullivan (R-AK) said in a statement.

Of course. Anything that gives America a shot at prosperity is anathema to democrats.

Maybe Alaska shouldn't have elected a Dem Senator and House Rep.

   Maybe EO's wasn't the way to go by Trump.  He had a Rino Congress AND the House Freedom Caucus his first two years   

   As I look back on 2015, I would swear things are much, much worse in 2023.

Don't you worry, the god Biden is going to save us, once he deprives us of food and energy.  Even damn fools will move past clueless then, for the little time they will have left!

Remember bashing Trump, giving Biden a pass, is one of the keys to this Tsunami/massive volcanic eruption coming.  The atheist will preach blame God, whom they insist doesn't exist except for blaming purposes.
