Do you happen to have sources for this? I am asking as a supporter of these policies, but I've never heard of this happening recently. I wanna know what to follow for future reference :)
- lenkite 5y agoThis has been in the news lately. Despite multiple attempts by various Democrats to block the Line 3 pipeline in Minnesota, the current administration is going forward with the same. Quite a different stance from when they shutdown the Keystone XL Phase-4 pipeline at the beginning of the year. Biden has also eased out on offshore drilling. (auction for 80 million acres of federal waters in the Gulf of Mexico). * https://www.reuters.com/business/energy/biden-administration-takes-steps-resume-oil-gas-drilling-auctions-2021-08-31/ https://www.reuters.com/business/energy/biden-administration... * The Line 3 pipeline will be able to carry 760,000 barrels a day of Canadian oil from North Dakota to Wisconsin
