President Biden announced Wednesday a moratorium on new oil and gas leasing on public lands, one of a slate of executive actions to demonstrate his commitment to fighting climate change, despite opposition from the fossil fuel industry and many Republicans.
“We’ve already waited too long to deal with this climate crisis,” Biden said at a White House signing ceremony. “We can’t wait any longer. We see it with our own eyes, we feel it, we know it in our bones. And it’s time to act.”Even as opponents were claiming the initiatives would cost jobs, Biden emphasized that that a comprehensive climate effort would create clean-energy jobs nationwide.
The president also signed a memorandum directing agencies to make decisions based on scientific evidence and data — a statement intended to distinguish Biden’s administration from President Trump’s, which was often criticized for ignoring or contradicting science in policymaking. Such actions will test the limits of his authority to unilaterally confront climate change. The administration‘s initiatives follow up on the ambitious Clean Power Plan advanced during the Obama era, which the Supreme Court ultimately blocked.
“This is absolutely an unprecedented commitment to climate policy,” Zichal said of Biden’s plans. “They are not wasting any time.” But some energy companies, hammered by low oil and gas prices and pressured by investors, are moving away from fossil fuels and investing in renewable energy. Many are still sitting on leases they stockpiled during the Trump administration.
