Biden Re-Opens Federal Land To Oil And Gas Leases
April 25, 2022

In its announcement, the Department of Interior said it would proceed with the sales, but with diminished acreage and steeper royalties for oil and gas companies. Still though, this is a sharp policy reversal for Biden and a step forward toward true energy independence.
