Federal agencies must"take a hard look" at the impact of oil and gas drilling on climate change, a federal judge ruled late Tuesday, directing the Bureau of Land Management to revisit environmental decisions made by the Obama administration.
The order from Judge Rudolph Contreras in Washington, DC, could have significant implications for the Trump administration's efforts to expand domestic energy production. The administration is considering a plan that would open nearly the entire US coastline to offshore drilling, and last week changed protections for the sage grouse that could open up more of the Western US to drilling.
also tell that to other countries where most of the pollution is coming from
Weird how judges think they can direct executive branch policy and budget spending 🤣 Not Gonna Happen
Except judges can't tell federal agencies to look at anything and if they did they have to come back and tell him that the climate has always changed even before the first oil well struck oil.
“Federal agencies”, like the gas, coal, and oil lobbyist run EPA? sure...ok
