More evidence of govt interference, creating shortages & higher prices
The Biden administration is delaying decisions on new oil and gas leases and permits after a Louisiana federal judge blocked officials from using higher cost estimates of climate change. The leasing pause is an unintended result of the Feb. 11 decision by U.S. District Judge James Cain, who argued that the administration’s attempt to raise the real cost of climate change would hike energy costs. The ruling has prompted delays and uncertainty across at least four federal agencies that were using higher cost estimates of greenhouse gas emissions in decisions.
Stupid Tommie-poo, the current price of gas has NOTHING to do with whatever drilling permits are or aren't being issued now. Stupid Tommie-poo.
The government issuing or not issuing drilling permits isn't "interference." It's REGULATION. Stupid Tommie-poo.
And the best part of all, stupid Tommie-poo? Your article is about a lawsuit brought IN OPPOSITION to a federal ruling. So if anything's being slowed down, that's by people who don't want to comply with government regulations, not by the government.
Stupid fucking Tommie-poo.
