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.
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."

Why does Joe Biden hate America, America workers, and American energy independence so much?
OPEC nations have been screwing over America since 1973.
Europe walked into Putin's Russian natural gas dependence trap.
Biden is panhandling America's enemies for more oil production while waging war against the American energy sector.
Al Gore's Manbearpig Enviro-cult have conveniently forgotten the lessons learned from 1970s petro-politics.
God bless Texas, fracking, the Permian Basin, and the Eagle Ford shale formation.
