This year marks first since 1958 that US held no oil and gas lease sales

This year will be the first year since 1958 that the Bureau of Ocean Energy Management held no offshore oil and gas lease sales.

Energy expert Alex Epstein, author of “Fossil Future,” argued at a recent House Budget Committee hearing the United States' record-high oil production is in spite of the Biden-Harris administration’s policies, not because of them. The data suggests he could be right, which means the impacts of the administration’s energy policies will be seen in the next four years.
