Playing for the away team. US pipelines bad, Russian pipelines good. US oil and gas bad, Cho Bai Den wants more Russian oil to keep US gas prices down. Chinese, European, Brazilian and Mexican offshore drilling fine, US offshore drilling bad. Geezus.
Federal Judge Revokes Oil And Gas Leases This seems like worrisome news:
A federal court has rejected a plan to lease millions of acres in the Gulf of Mexico for offshore oil drilling, saying the Biden administration did not adequately take into account the lease sale’s effect on planet-warming greenhouse gas emissions, violating a bedrock environmental law.
The decision Thursday by U.S. District Judge Rudolph Contreras in Washington sends the proposed lease sale back to the Interior Department to decide next steps. The judge said it was up to Interior to decide whether to go forward with the sale after a revised review, scrap it or take other steps.
I know you’ll be shocked, shocked to discover that Contreras was appointed by Obama.
Environmental groups hailed the decision and said the ruling gave President Joe Biden a chance to follow through on a campaign promise to stop offshore leasing in federal waters.
Since when is a politicians campaign promise a legal basis to overturn a government contract? Since when is “But global warming!” an excuse to break a contract?
We already have politicians trying to invoke “racial injustice emergencies” to ram through any number of unconstitutional decrees. How long until a judge decrees that you can’t buy heating oil in the winter, because global warming?
In big World Cup soccer news, the US national team is scheduled to play Honduras in St. Paul, MN on Wednesday. Temp is supposed to be a toasty 4 degrees. Now who the fuck schedules a winter qualifying soccer match outdoors in Minnesota in the winter? Same dump fucks who scheduled the World Cup in Qatar because it's a dry heat.
