State Dining Room of the White House on January 27, 2021 in Washington, DC. President Biden signed several executive orders related to the climate change crisis on Wednesday, including one directing a pause on new oil and natural gas leases on public lands. In late 2019, as various candidates jockeyed to win the Democratic nomination for president, Elizabeth Warren made the statement that she would “ban fracking everywhere.
. The biggest takeaway from the Executive Order was the cancellation of the Keystone XL pipeline permit. The project had been rejected by President Obama in late 2015, fast-tracked by President Trump in 2017, and now once more rejected by President Biden in 2021.Last week the administration also issued Secretarial Order No. 3395, which implemented a 60-day suspension of new oil and gas leasing and drilling permits for federal land and water..
Dig deeper; who funds Cheney?
There isn't a ban; there will no new permits issued for now. 'Heartless' was 45 approving KXL against EPA rules, and ignoring Native peoples land treaties.
Seriously, these projects were good for America. Now we’ll pay more, import oil produced w/o environmental concern, and we lost good jobs. You have to think larger, think 20%’s/anyone who makes more than 150K. And you need to transition to clean. Where’s the viable working plan?
You mean the same companies who just tried to screw texans with outrageous energy bills, why would we continue down the 🛢 path when conpanies like Shell saying they are divesting funds from 🛢 and ⛽ and investing in clean energy and hydrogen fuel cells?😕
He campaigned on it where was her opposition then? Oh thats right Trump.
Dismembering the earth and the its resources that Trump did enabled by GOP hierarchies like you was and is heartless!
this is terrible news
Heartless for the 1%.
