And you are taking what politicians say on faith. Here's a view from the other side: Critics, including U.S. Sen. Lisa Murkowski (R-Alaska), were quick to blast the decision. “Citing a ‘lack of industry interest’ is nothing more than fantasy from an administration that shuns U.S. energy production,” she said in a statement to CBS News. “Cook Inlet is the sole source of the natural gas that more than 400,000 people in Southcentral Alaska — and significant military bases that are critical to our national security — depend on. I can say with full certainty, based on conversations as recently as last night, that Alaska’s industry does have interest in lease sales in Cook Inlet. To claim otherwise is simply false, not to mention stunningly short-sighted.” https://www.gobankingrates.com/money/business/why-did-biden-cancel-alaskas-cook-inlet-oil-gas-lease/ https://www.gobankingrates.com/money/business/why-did-biden-...
