House progressives call on Biden to end all new fossil fuel permitting

A dozen progressive House members called on President Biden to reject new permitting for fossil fuel infrastructure, weeks after the administration announced it would resume lease sales on federal land.
The members, led by Rep. Cori Bush (D-Mo.), wrote that a full shutdown of fossil fuel production is necessary to achieve the administration’s environmental justice aims.
“Our neighbors in St. Louis are already dying from extreme heat, dangerous floods, and pollution driven by the same fossil fuels driving the climate crisis,” Bush added in a statement. “So far, President Biden has been working with us on a great agenda of public investments, but his ongoing support for the fossil fuel industry threatens to undermine our work. The President is doing so much, but he is simply not doing everything he can to deliver climate justice and save lives - and we need him to now. We cannot allow fossil fuel leases and infrastructure projects to move forward and undermine our collective work - they represent a direct threat to Black, brown, and Indigenous lives.”

The Biden administration imposed a temporary moratorium on all new oil and gas leasing on federal lands in January. After a court halted the order over the summer, the administration appealed the ruling but has in the meantime resumed lease sales. LINK

Wait till they are dying from lack of everything produced from oil. We are being lead by complete buffoons.

They have no idea what they are asking for. You want $200 oil and $50/gal, then this is how you do it. But then again, what do these people care. They have drivers take them around and don’t actually have to live with the consequences.

That’s literally begging to kill millions.

They don’t care because they think they are the ruling class and will be taken care of when it all falls apart.
They are useful idiots who will be discarded when no longer needed.

When gasoline rises to $6-$7/gallon, thus causing the price of everything else to rise, they'll just vote themselves a raise to compensate for the price increases. Meanwhile, the poor schlubs who vote for them will be SOL.
They'll then use that event as an excuse to expand social programs, thus bankrupting the country even faster.

Not one of these progressives plan to cut back on their fossil fuel consumption one iota.

It’s almost like they will remain in office whether or not they get the most legitimate votes
