The Biden administration is impeding new leases to drill on public lands and waters, jump-starting one of the president’s biggest campaign promises aimed at combating climate change. 
Within hours of taking office, Scott de la Vega, President Biden’s acting interior secretary, issued an order preventing staff from producing any new fossil fuel leases or permits without sign-off from a top political appointee, effectively freezing new oil, gas and coal development on federal lands and waters for the next 60 days.

Even as they re packing their bags, President Trump s team is jamming in more rollbacks to energy and environmental restrictions.

President-elect Joe Biden and his aides may spend months unwinding these policies as they gear up to cut greenhouse gas emissions unless congressional Democrats or federal judges step in to overturn them more quickly. Biden becomes president Wednesday. ....

Nonviolent protests have always been a staple of climate activism on Capitol Hill. Now the attack on Congress by a pro-Trump mob is forcing environmental activists to reconsider what tactics they will continue to use.
The days of hounding lawmakers by disrupting their committee hearings and staging peaceful sit-ins at theirs offices are on pause, at least for the moment, as security tightens in Washington after Trump supporters violently assaulted the Capitol Building on the day Congress was set to certify President-elect Joe Biden s election win.  ....

Dare we say it: The window for bipartisan work on drug pricing reform may be closed.
Sen. Ron Wyden, top Democrat on the powerful Senate Finance Committee, is focusing on a wish-list item for Democrats but poison pill for the GOP: eliminating a ban on the federal government using its negotiating power to directly force lower drug prices under Medicare.
“I think we’ve got to take bold action on prescription drug prices,” Wyden (Ore.) told reporters yesterday. “We’re going to be looking at all the tools to get this done.” ....
