You offered a comment that is demonstrably false.
So when Trump opens up drilling and fracking again in Alaska, completes the Keystone pipeline, and restarts the auction for new oil leases both on and offshore, you can rest comfortably in the knowledge that I'll be right there with the facts to shove up your dumb *** once again.
It's YOUR OWN story that I proved to be "demonstrably false"!
In Trump's first term he gave out new oil leases in ANWR and pushed through a 200 mile road for the mining operations there. AND BIDEN STOPPED OR DELAYED THOSE ACTIONS!:
Need more proof of Biden intentionally cutting the drilling rights that Trump put in place, nutless?:After Trump win, major Alaska oil and mining projects should be back on the table
Anchorage Daily News By Alex DeMarban Nov 9, 2024
In its first term, the Trump administration worked to advance potentially big projects and open up land to future development in Alaska. The projects included oil and gas leasing in the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge, opening logging potential in the Tongass National Forest, and permitting the 200-mile Ambler road through the Northwest Alaska wilderness for mining. But Biden, a Democrat, stopped or delayed those efforts and others. Alaska leaders say they expect to see new traction on major resource-extraction projects and others issues in the state.
Biden administration cancels years-long attempt to drill in Alaska National Wildlife Refuge
By Ella Nilsen, CNN 9/6/23
The Biden administration announced Wednesday it will cancel 7 Trump-era oil and gas leases in ANWR and protect more than 13 million acres in the federal National Petroleum Reserve in Alaska, stymieing a years-long attempt to drill in the protected region.
“With today’s action, no one will have rights to drill for oil in one of the most sensitive landscapes on Earth,” Interior Secretary Deb Haaland told reporters.
The 2017 GOP tax bill opened a small part of the pristine wildlife refuge for drilling, a measure championed by Alaska Sen. Lisa Murkowski, a Republican. Haaland suspended the leases in June 2021, and some major oil companies, canceled their leases in the area the following year.
Murkowski condemned Wednesday’s cancellations, which she said come “at a time when America and our allies need Alaska’s resources more than ever.”
“These decisions are illegal, reckless, defy all common sense, and are the latest signs of an incoherent energy policy from Biden,” the senator said in a statement.
The Interior Department is also proposing federal protections for 13 million acres of land in the NPR-A, limiting future oil and gas development The proposed rule would expressly prohibit new oil and gas leasing in 10.6 million acres, or over 40% of the NPR-A, according to an Interior Department press release.
