Biden pulls 3 offshore oil lease sales, curbing new drilling this year

This seems like a wonderful idea when fuel prices are already at record highs, and we are being warned of impending shortages. It’s plain to see that Slow Joe is making good on at least one of his talking points- pushing us kicking and screaming towards “green” energy. The problem is, we know that it has nothing to do with going “green” and everything to do with controlling our freedom of movement, as well as draining our financial independence.

 

The Interior Department confirmed Wednesday that it will not hold three oil and gas lease sales in the Gulf of Mexico and off the coast of Alaska that had been scheduled to take place, taking millions of acres off the auction block.

The decision, which comes as U.S. gas prices have reached record highs, effectively ends the possibility of the federal government holding a lease sale in coastal waters this year. The Biden administration is poised to let the nationwide offshore drilling program expire next month without a new plan in place.

While President Biden has spoken in recent weeks about the need to supply oil and gas to Europe so those nations can stop importing energy from Russia in light of the ongoing war in Ukraine, the move would mark a victory for climate activists intent on curbing U.S. fossil fuel leasing.

    It’s clearly a drive the wedge through the line, full-court press. WIth the vax there was such a ‘HURRYHURRY frenzy, like being in inside the two minute warning and being down. There are only two options I can see: 1). They see a window of opportunity slipping away and are fighting with absolute desperation; 2). They see the wedge has broken the middle and are rushing through the gap to exploit the breach.

    Not sure which one, but the frenzy is ON.
