Part of a sweeping executive order issued last week, the president has tasked the U.S. Interior Department with reviewing how much of a cut taxpayers get when companies drill on public lands. The current rate of 12.5% has stayed the same since the 1920s for oil and gas and the 1970s for coal. Biden wants those royalty rates to account for corresponding climate costs, according to the order.
The review comes as the oil and gas industry continues to reel from 2020 s historic drop in demand, which has companies pulling back from drilling on federal public lands in the West. The same executive order also places a moratorium on new oil and gas leases on public lands. Together the actions threaten fossil fuel-dependent economies around the region.

FMI research reveals effectively recruiting, maintaining Gen Z staff starts with value-based incentives & a clear path for promotion By Elizabeth Crawford As Generation Z enters the workforce, they bring a keen competitive spirit and a desire to contribute significantly – making them desirable employees, but because they also are unafraid to job hop if they do not feel appreciated, employers need to rethink how they recruit, train, reward and engage with them, according to new research published by FMI: The Food Industry Association.
