The Biden administration is resuming oil and gas leases on Federal land, they announced on Friday. The news stunned Fox’s Neil Cavuto and sent liberal green groups into a fury over Biden’s broken promise to do, well, basically the exact opposite of this.
They are panicking over the election. Guess that global warming isn’t as bad as they say, huh?
As some people on Twitter and Neil Cavuto on Fox News report, there are some pretty big caveats here, so it’s not exactly drill baby drill. They are making it VERY expensive to do. How that’s supposed to help gas prices I do not know, but leave it to Democrats to take every opportunity to commandeer more money for the government.
NEW: Biden's @Interior Department announces it will officially restart onshore oil and gas leases on federal lands. On Monday, @BLMNational will issue notices for upcoming sales that include "a first-ever increase in the royalty rate to 18.75 percent."

Here’s Cavuto talking about it with the editor of The Hill. Warning: Video features Neil Cavuto.
It’s not going to work.
I mean honestly how they can possibly think it will work for their election chances is beyond me. But it’s hilarious to see that they are doing it and it isn’t going well for them.
.@collinrees of @OilChangeUS called it an "ugly betrayal of Biden's campaign promises and his administration's rhetoric on environmental justice & climate action."
"True energy independence means rejecting fossil fuel expansion while rapidly building out renewables," he told me
