Legal Insurrection by Leslie Eastman July 11, 2022
A plan so convoluted that it may have been cooked up by Hunter Biden.
Perhaps the most consistent aspect of the Biden administration is its desire to gut everything President Donald Trump accomplished in office.
Biden is no fan of “drill, baby, drill”. However, in the wake of plummeting poll numbers fueled by exploding gas prices, the White House is offering an idiotic drilling plan to nix drilling in the Atlantic and Pacific while simultaneously allowing leases in the Gulf of Mexico and off Alaska.
The proposal released by the Interior Department on Friday evening would allow as many as 11 oil lease sales for offshore drilling over the course of five years.
But the plan is still being developed, and gives the administration several options—including one that would forgo new lease sales entirely, according to the Interior Department. Ultimately a final decision is months away.
By months away, perhaps closer to the election…when a calculation can be made which set of voters to upset less.
The environmentalists are unhappy with the move. Three environmental law firms are suing the administration to stop 3,500 permit applications from energy companies to drill for oil and gas on public lands.
In conclusion, the oil leasing plan is so convoluted that it may have been cooked up by Biden’s favorite advisor…his son, Hunter.

Biden knows the oil companies will not bribe his son to gain the leases, so there is no money to be made by this crime family.

There is no way he is going to 'win over' any oil patch votes.
That ship has sunk, and he scuttled it.
Besides, all this is mumbo jumbo promising this or that when he is the root cause of the problem anyway. His term won't last long enough for him to undo the mess he has made of American energy policy, and it was intentional, announced beforehand, premeditated with malice aforethought.
He might as well suck up to the ecowhackos.
