Exclusive: Louisiana AG Lauds Ending Biden’s Pause on Oil, Gas Leases
Jun 17, 2021 1 min, 4 secs

Louisiana Attorney General Jeff Landry told Breitbart News that a federal judge’s decision on Tuesday reversing President Joe Biden’s pause on leasing public lands and waters for oil and gas operations is “great news for America.”.

The order states that the Interior and the United States Bureau of Ocean Energy Management “are hereby enjoined and restrained from implementing the pause of new oil and natural gas leases on public lands or in offshore waters.”.

“Here in Louisiana, the share of royalty money that Louisiana receives from offshore leases, goes directly to environmental projects [such as] coastal restoration,” Landry said.

“The oil and gas industry in the United States has shown that they can walk and chew gum,” Landry said.

“The federal leasing pause is harmful to our nation’s national security, environmental progress, and economic recovery,” API Vice President of Upstream Policy Kevin O’Scannlain said.

“Congress created numerous laws requiring mineral and energy leasing, and the president cannot ignore them when he feels like it.

Lummis also made a pitch for legislation to protect states from federal energy restrictions!

“We should pass the POWER Act to protect the economies of states like Wyoming that rely on energy leases to educate our kids, create jobs, and support our local communities,” Lummis said!
