Joe Biden Tries to Tie Trump’s Hands on Alaska Oil Drilling Before Leaving Office

Amy Furr 7 Nov 2024

President Joe Biden (D) is working to choke an oil and gas lease sale in Alaska in the final months of his tenure in the White House.

On Wednesday, his administration moved to “narrow the scope” of the sale in the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge, the Washington Post reported.

 The action comes just after former President Donald Trump won a stunning election victory on Tuesday. The Post report noted the president-elect has said he will boost drilling in the area.

In 2017, Trump “signed a tax bill mandating at least two lease sales in the refuge’s 1.6 million-acre coastal plain by the end of 2024,” the Post said.

The article continued:

    Two weeks before Trump left office in 2021, the Interior Department auctioned off the first of these leases to oil companies and an Alaska state agency. But the Biden administration suspended and then canceled those leases, saying Interior had done an “insufficient analysis” of drilling’s impact in the environmentally sensitive region.

    Now, the Biden administration is seeking to narrow the second lease sale without violating the 2017 law that requires it.

Plus, Trump will be coming into office with an empty Strategic Petroleum Reserve.

What is done by the Administrative State can be undone by the next Administrative State.

Once out of power, Dems will use well funded NGO's to conduct lawfare against Trump's policies.

Since the Strategic Petroleum Reserve is so dangerously low, Trump may be forced to invoke the Defense Production Act to get pipelines completed; and to locate and develop additional domestic supplies of hydrocarbons ... for national security ... of the children.
