14 Republican-led states demand Biden restore large domestic oil and gas lease amid 'energy crisis'
The Biden administration canceled one of the most high-profile oil and gas lease sales.
Last month, the Biden administration canceled one of the most high-profile oil and gas lease sales pending before the Department of the Interior (DOI).
The DOI halted the potential to drill for oil in over one million acres in Alaska's Cook Inlet, along with two lease sales in the Gulf of Mexico.
"The Biden administration has been working hand in glove with these radical environmentalist groups to shut down American energy development," Montana Attorney General Austin Knudsen, who led the states in filing the brief. "These groups have made a cottage industry out of "weaponizing federal law" to cripple responsible domestic energy development, and liberal judges are all too happy to facilitate this green coup."
