Key Democrats push Biden to reform, not end, oil and gas leasing on federal land Print this article
Democratic lawmakers and governors are calling
for the Biden administration to reform the process of oil and gas leasing on federal lands without ending it.
President Biden promised a ban as one of his signature campaign pledges to help combat climate change but has so far only imposed an indefinite pause on issuing new oil and gas leases on federal lands and waters.
The pause has already met fierce backlash from the fossil fuel industry and states, including Democratic-led ones, that depend on revenue from oil and gas production to fund their budgets.
