Looks like Biden's lowest approval in history (after just one year), is causing him to open up some public land for drilling, although not enough to make much difference. He's trying to pee on the forest fire he started, but at least he can say he's doing something.
The left is angry because they are now being judged by the content of their character and not by the color of their skin.
Found this information regarding the sale of oil leases:
"Biden imposed a moratorium on the sale of new leases one week after his inauguration, but the order was later blocked by a Louisiana federal judge who granted a preliminary injunction to 13 states that claimed they would suffer “irreparable injury” by the White House move.
US District Judge Terry Doughty ruled that only Congress has the power to pause offshore oil and gas leases and ordered that plans be resumed for delayed lease sales for the Gulf of Mexico and Alaska."
