HOUSTON — Oil and gas industry leaders say they’ve seen a big shift in tone from the Biden administration over the past year, helping to smooth over one of the president’s rockiest relationships.
Washington Post
Perhaps the Washington Post reporter is correct, but the “big shift in tone” is not apparent in the offshore sector. The only lease sales have been mandated by Congress, the 5 year plan is still 9 months from completion, the lease sale terms have been less than favorable, and language in the draft 5 year plan does in fact express the intent to phase out oil and gas.
