U.S. Oil Thirst Defies Easy Fix of Drilling on Federal Lands (1)

High oil prices resulting from Russia’s invasion of Ukraine aren’t expected to prompt the Biden administration to abandon its climate policy and turn to federal oil and gas leasing to bring more crude to the U.S. market, legal experts say.

Oil and gas companies are fully able to drill using roughly 9,000 already-approved drilling permits on federal lands in addition to obtaining permits for undeveloped oil and gas leases on 12.3 million acres of federal land nationwide, Interior communications director Melissa Schwartz said.



The Interior Department approved about 2,500 permits to drill on public and tribal lands in the first six months of the year, according to an Associated Press analysis of government data. That includes more than 2,100 drilling approvals since Biden took office January 20

And this change to the leasing program might pressure them to drill rather than stockpile.

Oil Drilling on Federal Land Gets a Rare Shake-Up in Climate Bill

The climate-and-tax bill passed by the Senate would force oil companies to pay more for drilling on federal land and block them from stockpiling leases at rock-bottom prices, changes that conservationists and good-government groups have sought for years.

The climate-and-tax bill passed by the Senate would force oil companies to pay more for drilling on federal land and block them from stockpiling leases at rock-bottom prices, changes that conservationists and good-government groups have sought for years.

Supporters of the changes argue the current approach cheats taxpayers, with annual rental fees for some leased land sometimes amounting to less than the cost of a cup of coffee.

Oil companies drill where they have a high likelihood of finding oil.

from running out of baby food, to a heating crisis…all two years of demafasict rule has given us is hungry babies and freezing people

When they ran out of baby food what did you eat?

When all is written on the green movement, either we have technology hidden and withheld and waiting to be released with questionable costs and/or hundreds and hundreds of billions of dollars will go into the pockets of privileged interests. It is possible this winter will have people not paying their heating bills, a huge rise in illegal electric hook up fires, kerosene heater fires up the wazoo and increased space heater fires. People will burn anything to stay warm. The Village is a warmer climate.

Like you really give two shits for people.

If you can't feed a baby anything but the formula and canned baby food you are not trying very hard.

You certainly don't. And most Progs would wilt going into inner city areas to give comfort and services to the population.

As the jackass, Joe Biden, tells people no more oil or gas drilling on Federal lands or offshore.

Folks, wake the fuck up!

​

In the most densely populated corner of the US, temperatures are about to drop after a stretch of unusually warm weather. And the signs of a winter crisis are already multiplying.​

​

Heating oil delivered to New York is the priciest ever. Retailers in Connecticut are rationing it to prevent panic buying. New England’s stockpiles of diesel and heating oil — the same product, taxed differently — are a third of normal levels. Natural gas inventories are also below average. A Massachusetts-based utility is imploring President Joe Biden to prepare emergency measures to prevent a gas shortage.​

Lower vaccination rates among Republicans could explain the partisan gap, but some researchers say mask use and social distancing were bigger factors.
