BATON ROUGE Louisiana s Republican congressional delegation wasn t searching for reasons to support President Joe Biden, but the Democratic leader s quick actions against fossil fuels ensured the GOP lawmakers from an oil and gas production state had an easy point of attack to hammer him.
Biden s decisions to pause new oil and gas drilling leases on federal land and waters including the Gulf of Mexico, cut subsidies for fossil fuel industries and stop construction on the long-disputed Keystone XL oil pipeline aim to combat the worst of climate change.
But the executive actions target an industry that has long been an economic engine for Louisiana, accounting for hundreds of thousands of jobs. And the timing comes as the industry is grappling with declining prices and a recession amid international feuds and the coronavirus pandemic.
