North Dakota Files a Lawsuit Against Biden Administration For Freezing Gas and Oil Leasing Sales Costing the State $80 Million ‘So Far’While a government can’t really create a good economy, it can, however, do things to harm one. That’s why Trump’s economy was so good. He got rid of all the job-crushing regulations and taxes that were keeping our economic growth low. Right now,"North Dakota"residents are finding this out the hard way.The"Biden administration"put a freeze on new gas and oil leases on federal land and water. North Dakota is suing the Biden administration for halting the leases because it has cost them tens of millions of dollars so far, and that adds up every day.The lawsuit was filed with the US District Court for the District of North Dakota Western Division and argues that Biden’s freezing of lease sales in their state is unlawful. The also alleges that the US Department of the Interior and the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) illegally suspended gas and oil lease auctions in North Dakota. North Dakota is seeking to have the BLM reschedule the lost lease sales and they want a prevention of the agency from blocking future sales.According to North Dakota, the two sales that were canceled this year cost the state over $80 million in lost revenue. They argue that if the leases aren’t reinstated in the coming months that loss could rise into the billions of dollars because it is the second largest crude oil producer in the United States, and a large part of its tax revenue comes from gas and oil production. According to the"complaint, “Oil and gas production are central to North Dakota’s economy and the welfare of its citizens, responsible for 54% of the value of the State’s economy, generating approximately 76% of the State’s tax revenue and creating approximately 66,000 good-paying jobs in the State.”Wayne Stenehjem, North Dakota’s Attorney General said in a"statement, “I have taken this action to protect North Dakota’s economy, the jobs of our hard-working citizens, and North Dakota’s rights to control its own natural resources.Without following the legally required procedures, BLM arbitrarily canceled the March and June lease auctions and they shows every sign of continuing to violate its statutory duties.” North Dakota Republican Senator Kevin Cramer said, “In addition to being a foolish idea, Biden’s moratorium {temporary prohibition} on oil and gas leasing on public lands is illegal. It increases federal and state budget shortfalls, hampers state and private mineral owners’ rights, and makes the United States less energy independent and more reliant on foreign producers who are not all good actors, like Russia, Saudi Arabia, or Venezuela.”For all the nonsense spewed about President"Donald Trump"about colluding with Russia, Biden has gone out of his way to help Vladimir Putin by"waiving sanctions"on a Russian company that allowed the construction of the Russian Nord Stream 2 pipeline into Germany to continue.North Dakota’s lawsuit isn’t unique. A federal judge last month temporarily blocked Biden’s suspension of gas and oil leasing on public land and water in Louisiana, and the judge said that his ruling applied nationwide.ND’s Attorney General also said, “I welcome and support the Louisiana federal district court’s decision, and I look forwardto defending North Dakota’s vital interests in its natural resources and continuing to put the pressure on the Federal government to do the right thing for our state.”
