Of course they did. They’ve been doing all they can for decades to harm oil/gas production
Environmental groups sue Biden administration over western drilling permits
Three environmental organizations on Wednesday sued the Biden administration for granting thousands of fossil fuel drilling permits, alleging the permits violate federal law.
In the lawsuit, filed in the Federal District Court for the District of Columbia, plaintiffs accused the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) of violating the Endangered Species Act, the National Environmental Policy Act and the Federal Land Policy and Management Act by granting 3,500 permits in Wyoming and New Mexico.
The plaintiffs — the Center for Biological Diversity, WildEarth Guardians and the Western Environmental Law Center — argue that the wells in question are an imminent threat to their respective ecosystems and more than 150 at-risk species.
The plaintiffs project the completed wells will emit between 490 million and 600 million metric tons of carbon dioxide over their lifetime. In an email to The Hill, Taylor McKinnon of the Center for Biological Diversity said the figure is based on the BLM’s state-specific per-well estimated ultimate recovery (EUR) and emissions estimates.
I wonder how many of the members of these groups have given up their own use of fossil fuels? And, really, if it wasn’t for skyhigh gas prices, which continue to go up, Biden wouldn’t have approved the permits. They really do want the pain at the pump to happen, forgetting that it increases the price they themselves pay for food and goods.
Gas prices: ‘The solution here, unfortunately, is probably a recession,’ analyst says
Gasoline prices remain above an average of $5/gallon nationally, according to AAA data, and energy experts still do not see any relief in sight.
“We’re likely to get record highs on U.S. regular gasoline this summer, when demand typically peaks,” Stewart Glickman, energy equity analyst at CFRA Research, told Yahoo Finance. “Best guess, we peak around $5.50/gallon during the summer.”
Citing refining capacity, he added: “If we’re going to get US gasoline prices to fall, it’s probably not going to be a supply-driven solution. The solution here, unfortunately, is probably a recession that kills demand and reduces scarcity of supply.”
This is what Warmists and Biden are driving us to. They do not care if it hurts Americans. Or themselves. Because their cult beliefs are more important.
