Biden Admin To Reduce Oil Leasing in Alaska​

The Biden administration announced Monday it will ban oil and gas leasing on 11 million acres of Alaska's North Slope, reversing a Trump-era expansion of the country's petroleum reserve.
Although the Biden administration claims the regulations will help protect "threatened and endangered species," Alaska governor Mike Dunleavy (R.) slammed the order, saying it will diminish U.S. oil production amid a record spike in energy prices.

"This is another sign of the federal government turning its back on Alaska and hampering domestic energy production," Dunleavy told the Wall Street Journal. "The U.S. Department of Interior is putting the nation in a situation where we have to rely on foreign oil … at a time for growing prices and concern for American consumers."

Ideology trumps everything even common sense.

Makes complete sense in the regards of reducing gas prices and placing sanctions on Russia.

Another way to cave in the use of petroleum products and force people towards electric vehicles.

Wait until these assholes find out that they'll need petroleum to make many parts for electric vehicles and all the attendant infrastructure like charging stations, wire to connect all those charging stations, plastic parts for the cars (plastic is a reasonable insulator), huge expansion of an electric grid that is already archaic, etc, etc.

But, IMHO, if you really think about all aspects of making EVs the norm, you rapidly realize that it just doesn't add up - it's a total bullshit idea.

Ideology trumps everything even common sense.

The only ideology is that the Dems get their money from EV companies and the Repubs get their money from oil. Neither gives a damn about this Country. It's all about increasaing THEIR bottom line at OUR expense.
