New Mexico Gov. Michelle Lujan Grisham is a bit late to the party, but at least she finally said something about the Biden Administration's energy moratorium policy.
Biden announced his moratorium on energy during his first week in office and only now Lujan Grisham is complaining about it. Well, I guess it's better late than never. What has she been doing for the past two months? Sleeping?
From Fox News:
New Mexico Democratic Gov. Michelle Lujan Grisham has concerns with President Biden's moratorium pausing oil and gas leasing on federal lands that she said "hurts New Mexico."
Within his first week in office, Biden signed an executive order to temporarily suspend new oil and gas leases on public lands and offshore waters for drilling and fracking for 60 days.
"I’m clearly concerned that right out of the gate with very little guidance, we have an announcement to stall ... a moratorium on lease applications, and the reality is: a lot of oil and gas ... in the Permian [Basin] is on private land in Texas," she said during a Wednesday event with the Albuquerque Chamber of Commerce.
She added that her administration has "initiated both conversations and a pretty strongly worded letter that this doesn’t make any sense."
I have to agree with Lujan Grisham that this "doesn't make any sense." Then again, nothing that the Biden Administration has done makes any sense. That's what happens when you have left-wing ideologues running the government.
