Biden Punishes Drillers With 15-Fold Increase In Permitting Costs, Plans To Block Arctic Oil Extraction

One week after the Biden administration slapped new regulations on key power grid components, the Washington Post reports that US oil and gas companies will face a 15-fold increase in costs to drill on federal land, under a new rule released on Friday.

Under it, the Interior Department's Bureau of Land Management will require drillers to pay $150,000 per lease on federal lands, up from $10,000 - the first comprehensive update to the federal oil and gas leasing program in over three decades.

That's not all...

The rule comes as the Biden administration readies a sweeping plan to limit future oil drilling across roughly 13 million acres of Alaska's North Slope, which the US set aside a century ago as an emergency supply.

Here is a useful site to follow the money.
Chinese used to be called the Jews of the east. They are laughing all the way to the bank while the US builds bases all over and pisses away money.  I read that in the past years US spent 300B on Ukraine. No return on that investment.  Romans used to get a return on their military. Gold. Wheat. Slaves.  I am not saying US govt is evil but stupid.

In some of these places China is building infrastructure as an investment with a return. US backs insurgents to disrupt this in some places. No return on that investment.

Bring it up.
hit explore at top right
select location in the drop down for region or further by country at the right
select exports or imports
select by partner I listed the biggest partner.
South American exports 27 pct China imports 24 pct China. [BTW US used to be the biggest partner in our back yard]

Asia>SE Asia Exports 18 pct China imports 27 pct China
Asia>SE Asia>Thailand Exports 16 pct China US 15 pct imports 26 pct China
Asia>SE Asia>Myamar Exports 37 pct China imports 42 pct China [US supports insurgents maybe?]

Asia>Southern Asia>Pakistan Exports 19 pct US 11 pct China, Imports 31 pct China. [US supports insurgents to kill Chinese engineers no return]

Trump launched 80+ cruise missiles into a mostly empty Syrian air base in response to a Syrian gas attack that never happened. US gets zero in return.

I recall some recent US govt statement that gardens have a larger carbon footprint than big ag holdings. Now this?

They meant per product not in total.

“We welcome gardens nationwide to join us in the People’s Garden effort and all it represents,” said Secretary of Agriculture Tom Vilsack, “Local gardens across the country share USDA’s goals of building more diversified and resilient local food systems, empowering communities to come together around expanding access to healthy food, addressing climate change and advancing equity.”

Follow the money. China does lots of trade. I wonder if that means military alliance. I bet even Vietnam does lots of trade with China.

🇷🇸🇫🇷 MACRON TWISTS VUCIC'S ARM - Watch nervous-looking Serbian Prez Vucic sweat as French counterpart claims "It's your choice 00:08 video above" but Serbia must forget about (00:51) past's West's brutal bombing of former Yugoslavia
(https://t.me/IntelRepublic/17057) and align its foreign policy more closely with the EU.

Despite wounds of the past, Serbia must not doubt that its place in the future is within European Union. Serbs should not question their pan-European future, Serbia should not stray from its path to the European family - Macron.

First NATO (https://t.me/IntelRepublic/30812) and now EU, has Vucic completely sold out? Let us know your thoughts below. 👇

Wow, a lunatic...

Waxing non-stop about hatred...filled with hatred...

Methinks a ripe nerve hath been agitated...

 ::hysterical::

I think that telling Finn pensioners to suck it up and spending more on NATO struck a nerve.
Also, sanctions hit both ways. Finns got hit hard. If you have  a Finn business and you sell to Russia then it is illegal the next day you are screwed. The govt employees  making the changes are not screwed at least in the short run. Finns used to cross the border to buy cheap Russian petrol.

No more cheap energy or wood from Russia and at the same time EU want to turn our forests to an museum. Paper and pulp mills are closing down or downsizing.

I knew that Finns are big in pulp and paper from decades ago in US MI UP. Now what happened? There was a remark on the EU wanting to turn the forests into nature parks? Any idea what this is?

To clarify, this is subjective targeting of individuals by a rogue politicized government, radicalized DA's and activist Judges...that threatens all 1st Amendment rights.
