Conservative Review "The Biden administration announced on Wednesday that it plans to cancel the seven remaining oil and gas leases in Alaska’s Arctic National Wildlife Refuge.
"The 430,000-acre, 10-year drilling leases were awarded to a state agency, the Alaska Industrial Development and Export Authority, by the Trump administration.
The Biden administration put the leases on hold in January 2021 by issuing an executive order. Later that year, the administration announced that it would be reviewing the leases “[i]n light of the alleged legal deficiencies underlying the program.”
Interior Secretary Deb Haaland stated on Wednesday, “On day one of this administration, President Biden directed us to look at the oil and gas leases sold in the refuge by the previous administration.”
