The Interior Department went ahead with it’s lease auction yesterday for an area the size of Florida in the Gulf of Mexico.
ExxonMobil, Shell, BP and Chevron purchased leases on 2700 sq. miles of the Gulf of Mexico.
The AG’s in several Republican controlled states sued in federal court to have Biden’s ban on oil and gas leasing lifted. The court sided with the Republicans.
To date the Secretary of the Interior Deb Haaland has had nothing to say about any of this.
The lawyer for Earthjustice, Drew Caputo said, “We’re talking about transitioning away from a fossil fuel economy and they are selling a giant carbon bomb of a lease sale.”
Last week ExxonMobil announced that it was selling off its gas and shale oil properties in Texas.
They don’t need the money to retire their debt so something else is happening here.
