14 GOP state attorneys general sue Biden administration over oil and gas leasing moratorium

[CNBC]

Fourteen states including Louisiana and Wyoming filed suit on Wednesday against President Joe Biden’s moratorium on new oil and natural gas leases on public lands and waters.

Biden’s order on Jan. 27 to pause new leasing was part of a series of executive actions to address climate change and curb planet-warming carbon emissions.

The president also directed the secretary of the Interior Department to begin a thorough review of existing permits for fossil fuel development.

A coalition of 13 states, led by Louisiana, filed one lawsuit on Wednesday. Wyoming filed a separate lawsuit. The states in Louisiana’s suit are Alabama, Alaska, Arkansas, Georgia, Mississippi, Missouri, Montana, Nebraska, Oklahoma, Texas, Utah and West Virginia. All 14 states have Republican attorneys general.

#1 Note the absence of New Mexico whose Governor(D) whined when the process was cancelled by the Biden-Harris cabal. Good Kabuki theater.
