One of 0bama's maneuvers right before he exited the White House was to lock up vast areas for exploration & drilling.
Alaska was deeply affected by this move, and we are very dependent on those revenues & jobs. Very solid move, Trump!
Naturally, the greenies are squealing something fierce. Music to my ears. :coffee:
“We’re opening it up,” the president said. “Today we’re unleashing American energy and clearing the way for thousands and thousands of high-paying American energy jobs. Our country is blessed with incredible natural resources, including abundant offshore oil and natural gas reserves … This executive order starts the process of opening offshore areas to job-creating energy exploration. It reverses the previous administration’s Arctic leasing ban, so hear that — it reverses the previous administration’s Arctic leasing ban, and directs Secretary Zinke to allow responsible development of offshore areas that will bring revenue to our treasury and jobs to our workers.”
Environmentalists immediately panned the move and said it’s yet another sign that the White House is beholden to the fossil fuels industry.
