The guy who has no problem using massive amounts of fossil fuels to take most weekends off, because they are paid for by you the taxpayer, has no problem working to skyrocket your fuel costs. Which, of course, means the cost of everything goes up
Interior plans fewest-ever offshore drilling leases
The administration plans to give the oil and gas industry up to three chances to bid on offshore drilling rights over the next five years, the fewest offshore leases in the program’s history.
The Interior Department still needs to finalize the plan in order to move ahead with offshore drilling.
The proposed plan limits offshore oil and gas leases issued between 2024 and 2029 to the Gulf of Mexico.
The proposal announced Friday can be finalized after 60 days.
Interior Secretary Deb Haaland described the department’s proposal as one that furthers the offshore wind industry.
“The Proposed Program, which represents the smallest number of oil and gas lease sales in history, sets a course for the Department to support the growing offshore wind industry and protect against the potential for environmental damage and adverse impacts to coastal communities,” she said in a statement.
She’s literally bragging about working to make the cost of food, energy, clothes, etc. much, much higher.
