Biden blocks oil drilling on 10M acres in Alaska, including leases Trump sold
Biden to cancel Trump's oil drilling leases in Alaskan nature refuge
Former President Donald Trump had bragged about his success in opening the region to oil production after decades of political fighting over the resources locked under the tundra there.
Don't worry everyone, Republicans won't use this to blame gas prices that their donor friends jack up before the election
political parties always do something nice before elections never reflects on the whole career
What did Trump like this before the election?
god damn it. what a worthless president. congrats democrats, you get $5 gas while financially supporting Russia and our other global adversaries. Traitors all of you.
You realize the gas companies have had record breaking profits, right? It's greed, nothing more
Heck yeah it is. I moved a bunch of money into oil when it bottomed out at the start of covid and its more than trippled. The only thing that would have been a better investment was big pharma. That being said, I'd rather that profit stay with US companies and investors than go to Russians, Iranians, and Saudis.
The fact that you associate gas prices with the president proves how much of a gullible moron you are.
Comments like this is why the rest of the world thinks the USA is a country formed by idiots.
ROFL! You perfectly captured the ignorance of every trump-humping coward I’ve ever talked to! Bravo!
I do love me some parody. Well played man! Only, next time- don’t forget the /s so we all know you’re not an idiot.
Damn it, did Biden lean on the gas prices lever in the Oval Office again?
What a troll. This has nothing to do with that.
Read the room. Gas is likely going to get much more expensive in the next few decades, and that's probably for the best. If you don't like it then get an electric car.
It's going to be more expensive due to an artificial scarcity. There is an abundance of oil, we're just not drilling for enough of it
I'd gladly pay a little more for gas knowing it came from a north american oil well than have the blood children working in african cobalt mines on my hands.
We got by without those lands and we can do it again. Or are you too much of a snowflake to handle it?
Can we send luckyhunter to another country please
And his kids to a cobalt mine since it's no big deal apparently
Nothing was going to come of this, anyway.
Oil companies themselves are not building wells anymore, or exploring for new ones. Lease auctions are just sitting there with no bids. Very little of it has to do with politics; it's all about the payback not being there in the long run combined with the risk of another bust in the short run. Only the wells with a high chance of generating profit are getting the green light.
maybe, maybe not. They certainly aren't going to try to develop better methods and technology to drill there if there's now no chance to do so. Financially I don't mind $5 gas, I'm sure many people will mind though. I have a problem with conflicting government polices to both fund the fight against Russia, and also ones that will directly fund Russia to fight.
America already makes more oil than it uses.
Including the leases trump signed the day before Biden took office. Fucker.
