14 GOP state attorneys general sue Biden administration over oil and gas leasing moratorium
2021-03-26
[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.
