Energy development companies had identified 744,000 acres of federal land which could yield significant returns for oil and gas extraction. Today the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) authorized leases for 173 parcels on 144,000 acres; approximately 80% less than was identified by energy companies. [BLM Press Release Here]
Dept of Interior Secretary Deb Haaland (pictured left) shared, “today, we begin to reset how and what we consider to be the highest and best use of Americans’ resources for the benefit of all current and future generations.”
The Biden administration, together with tribal leadership are concerned about environmental justice and sustainable energy equity for a host of multigenerational shareholder elements within the limited areas under consideration.
As the press release notes, “this pragmatic approach focuses leasing on parcels near existing development and infrastructure, such as gathering lines that can help reduce venting and flaring, and will help conserve the resilience of intact public lands and functioning ecosystems.
The new leases are mostly for areas where already existing oil and gas exploration is taking place, and the Biden administration has raised the federal royalty charges from 12.5% to a new 18.75%. In order to keep upward pressure on gasoline prices, Green New Deal national target price $7/gal, the new leases will not be available until later this year.
Great Sneezing Feathers, together with Strong Pine Fish and the progressive clan of the Algae and Whiskey tribe, will watch carefully as the colonizing white man puts hole in ground to feed metal people wagons.
“Worse than Carter? …. Sheesh”
If the states had any spine they would be kicking the feds out of their so called federal land.
indeed.
Any state that still regards itself as being sovereign should simply act for its people, and inform the fed fascists that any attempt by them to interfere with their state will be treated as a crime. Defend the location and the people, deport fed agents out of your borders, and arrest and try any who attempt to enforce illegal federal law.
Let it come already.
Agreed, but as long as we have legislators and governors beholden to the two parties we are doomed.
That is squarely on every one of us…
need drilling Oil right now right here at USA,
Amazing how there was lots of oil when Trump was in office.
No one has claimed there isn’t a lot of oil. The Democrats/communists have come right out and said they want to be 100 percent off fossil fuel by a certain date.
Pelossis says Natural Gas is not a fossil fuel.
Our farm had a tractor on propane. Dad installed a propane tank on the pickup and a regulator so we could switch between 2 fuels.
(propane had no highway tax and also was hooked to our house cold water heater and furnace)
I met with the President of Mobil in NOLA 1981 and he told me we would run out of oil by 1992.
“The Spice must flow”
Natural Gas just went from $5 to $7. In Germany it’s $35. That’s where we are headed.
It’s just another smokescreen by the Biden regime. Nothing will come of it. Anyone half-awake who is paying attention is very aware that Biden and his co-conspirators couldn’t care less about the American people. All that matters to them is their agenda, which spells doom for what’s left of America.
The existential battle for our country has two remaining acts: the ’22 mid-terms and the ’24 presidential election. If we haven’t resolved the 2020 election fraud which brought us to this point, America is toast.
Remind me how the mid terms and 2024 will matter when they already stole the highest seat in the land?
Are you watching the same nation burn that I am? The damage they’re doing in 4 years will be too much to salvage in 100.
Demographics is destiny. They know that, thus the mass invasions of almost every Western Christian nation to turn them minority-majority. They are all already non-Christian. The next step is to turn them non-Caucasian majority. It’s the end of the age of Pisces. They follow the Zodiac
Repeal P.L. 86-21. Nothing to do with oil but provides free facilities and services via USPHS to American Natives. Revenue from casinos is more than enough to fuel the reservations.
The entire tribal system in the USA is a complete train wreck. Both mismanaged and corrupt.
In wishful thinking mode, I’d like to see the whole thing sunsetted over a couple decades, with the tribal governments transitioned into 501 (c).3’s or the like, with shares given to the members.
Did I miss FJB’s press conference announcing this???
Yes. The national symbol flew over and pooped on him.
Pipeline history from a Democrat point of view;
“After a decade of grassroots pressure along the proposed pipeline pathway,
President Biden revoked a key permit for the Keystone XL pipeline on his first day in office,
and construction of the pipeline was halted.
Then in June 2021 TC Energy, the developer behind the project,
announced it was abandoning the project.
This is an incredible win for the people and wildlife
that would have borne the brunt of pollution
from the pipeline and its inevitable spills,
as well as for our climate.
Thank you for lending your voice to this campaign. “

MY view:
We need cheap energy and we will never get it from the DEMOCRAT..
The Center for Biological Diversity is based in AZ. They are predominantly a group of lawyers and a few “scientists”. They were a thorn in the side to development when I lived in Alaska (third time). They wanted a logo like the Panda in the WWF to catch people’s attention. They turned to the polar bear after a failed attempt at a seabird. They’re worse than piranhas to suck money from people for green causes.
True. They are too moist and don’t burn well. 😉
The Democrat :
“In 2015 President Obama rejected the proposed KXL pipeline —
but right after he left office, the Trump administration put it back on the table.
Three years later,
following a lawsuit by the Center and allies,
a court ruled that the administration had violated bedrock environmental laws by approving a federal permit for the pipeline,
including failing to adequately address the risks of oil spills on federally protected endangered species.”
The Republican..
“The Trump administration undermined that victory by issuing a new permit,
which allowed the project to proceed anyway. “
Just another talking point. Notice, not one mention of permits in that talking point dropped on a Friday nite doc dump on a holiday weekend. A distraction to keep the masses focused on the gas prices to cover for the next block removed from the foundation of our great country. You remove enough foundation blocks, what that foundation holds up begins to crumble.
How much of a foundational failure has to take place before the people take notice?
Once the people take notice, how long does it take before those same people take matters into there own hands to identify the problem and fix the issue?
Strong men cause good times.
Good times cause weak men.
Weak men cause bad times.
Bad times cause strong men.
America has become fat and lazy with our cell phones and drive thru’s, recliners and Amazon shopping. Will we sit and watch as our so called elected politicians get rich at our expense. How long will we idly stand by while the installed government officials dilute our population with illegal immigrants to insure there power at their compromised voting machines. How much will the American people take as they sit in there Chinese made recliners and watch their country crumble on there Chinese made flat screen TV’s?
How long ?
What will it take?
This great country is under attack and is in serious trouble. We are closer to being undermined and taken over from within than I have ever seen in my lifetime.
Prepare yourself for the day that you wake up to an announcement of a suspension of the constitution.
Pray that day never comes.
Yes, please pray. but also stack up on ammo,
Unfortunately, I think that day is much closer than anyone, even those awake, want to contemplate. Are you aware that the World Health Organization (WHO) is moving to create an international Pandemic Treaty which could impose more restrictive and legally binding pandemic policies among its 194 member nations including the US), essentially given the WHO the power to preempt the national sovereignty of member States, and by implication, the civil liberties and health rights of the world’s citizens. Back in December 2021, the World Health Assembly – the WHO’s 194 member health policy forum – agreed to initiate a global process of drafting a new “pandemic treaty,” building off of the already existing international legal instrument regulating the global spread of disease known as The International Health Regulations. So our Constitutional rights would be nullified and turned over to the WHO. I think this is due to take effect next year.
Something to ask every candidate running for any federal or state office: Will you cancel our membership in the World Health Organization if they attempt to control how America responds to a pandemic?
Yes I am aware of this evil treaty. This is what the corrupt Washington DC swamp is pointing us toward. I have tried to tell friends and family members, that in our lifetime the UN will be tasked with disarming of the American people, to be told that I was a crazy old man.
Oil is, of course, renewable ad infinitum. The evil satanic AshkeNAZI J’s hate God’s work
A Ukrainian Russian, such irony
Academician Professor Vladimir B. Porfir’ev, senior petroleum exploration geologist for the U.S.S.R., at the All-Union Conferenceon Petroleum and Petroleum Geology, Moscow, 1956.
Amongst early Russian proponents of the inorganicorigin of hydrocarbon formation were Mendeleyev(1877) who assumed that hydrocarbons were generatedwithin the Earth by interaction of water with iron car-bide and Vernadsky (1933) who concluded that, withincreasing depth in the Earth’s crust, the oxygen contentwould decrease to zero and the content of hydrogenwould increase leading to the formation of hydrocar-bons at depth. More than a thousand papers on the Russian-Ukrainiantheory have been published in Russian (Kenney, undatedb) but only a handful in English. This makes an assess-ment of this theory by non-Russian speakers very difficultbecause very few papers have been translated dealingwith the processes involved in petroleum formation andmigration at specific locations. It is therefore not easy toget a feel for how the Russian-Ukrainian theory was usedto find commercial hydrocarbon deposits. However, twopapers by key protagonists of the biogenic and abiogenictheories can be considered to compare the different atti-tudes of western and Russian petroleum geologists at acritical juncture.In his paper, H. D. Hedberg (1969) offered an almostencyclopaedic examination of the inorganic origin ofpetroleum with many examples from the nineteenth cen-tury. Unfortunately, the views of geologists from theU.S.S.R. made up only the last two pages of this paperand these consisted only of a translation of comments byN. A. Eremenko which were essentially a rebuttal of theinorganic theory as described by a number of leading sci-entists su

My geology professor told our class that Petroleum is a plate lubricant. He said calling it “Fossil Fuel” was to make it seem that it was finite.
You’re right. I have heard the same. It’s a misnomer for a reason. The ban on “fossil fuel” has nothing to do with climate or environment. It’s all about control and the breakdown of society, intentionally, to bring in another New World Order (or whatever the operative phrase is now) of global tyranny at which Hitler, Stalin and Mao would be shocked.
The commie bastards need to be reined in.
And yet the Biden voting and virtue signaling 125 lb white housewives in my neighborhood will drive nothing less than a 7,000 lb SUV to the grocery store. ‘Get out of my way!’ as they road rage around town in their tank.
Actually, they are driving Tesla’s around town as their second car.
Nothing but “Show And Tell” from this bunch of America Hating Communists….No drilling will be done….
If you believe this you also believe they are working 24/7 unloading cargo ships at the ports.
80% less land then identified, 50% increase in royalties. Typical
Every statement by a moron representing the US Government’s Executive Branch and Uni-Party Congress are focus group trial balloons.
Those trial balloons are “announcements”, “plans”, “declarations”, “demands”, “headline deep authorizations”, et al. They are designed to gauge just how much actual change, action or policy implementation is needed to sooth the la la land dwellers.
That is an excellent observation – clear and succinct and true.

I see a lot of white people in the cage at “indian casinos ” counting the money in Washington state.
I wonder how isolated and alone these uniparty anti Americans will feel on November 9th? I wonder what it will feel like when genuine Americans rise up and deliver a cudgel of rejection for their lack of energy policy, their grooming, open borders, pro Globalist fealty?
In January we will start the process of getting rid of their executive Nazi officers, I suggest we start with Garland, then bulldoze into the rest, investigations first, then impeachment. Every last one of them.
No political mercy.
‘Twould be nice, but with McCarthy still in charge of the red team in the House, it ain’t gonna happen.
The Democrats are the Party of trimmers. There has to be a slice of pork for everyone.
They love and respect talented trimmers – BLM, Jesse Jackson, and the royal couple of pork Bill and Hillary.
The long-term goal remains the same – return to feudalism. Neo-feudalism. The new peasant class is crossing the Rio Grande as we speak.
Only the nobles rode around in fine carriages. The peasants walked (and remained close to home).
Only rich Democrats (and government officials, the new vassals) will travel by private auto.
Older people here will remember what China looked like in the 1960s – millions of people on bicycles and a few government officials in cars picking through the swarm. Leftists of that era (Hillary, Bernie, Pelosi etc.) thought that was a glorious image, and they’ve never dropped that vision for America.
The electric car is horse hockey. Where are all the millions of charging stations we will need, and very soon? Probably locked up in a warehouse with Cuomo’s ventilators – unwanted and unneeded.
Global warming is the excuse to coerce that final, ultimate bifurcation of society. Rich and poor, forevermore.
Reluctant measures that simply are not enough… Therefore no different than doing nothing. Other than to generate a talking point.
Might make a buck at 12.5
I’ll pass at 18.75
Reset.
Fundamentally transform.
BBB.
Can’t say we weren’t warned.
Pray we make it to November elections.

If you are an illegitimate regime that stole power with criminal, satanic fraud: what in the whole of Hades does it matter what you “authorize” or not? Is not the only – ONLY! – thing that matters is, that you are an illegitimate regime that stole power with criminal, satanic fraud?
Focus!!!!
These “leases” are worthless. Like the pipeline contracts. The Marxists have no hesitancy in breeching written contracts.
Good time for me to pivot to Trump.
In Trumps early book, if he wanted to do a deal, he did the deal and let his laywers put it in writing.
if he didn’t want a deal, he tied it up with lawyers first.
Biden plagiarized this and the “permits’ will get a run around and delays. Paperwork.
I suspect some permits will get signed closer to 2024 election.
