My first thought upon reading the headline was, great news! Biden has finally accepted the reality that we absolutely have to drill baby drill for the foreseeable future and his so called green energy agenda is literally up in smoke. Reading further into the article though I'm not so sure and this might be a PR-CYA stunt so he can tell people he's done all he can to lower gas prices while actually doing nothing. Time will tell I guess.
In a statement to Fox News regarding the decision, the American Petroleum Institute expressed concern over whether the move will add "new barriers to increasing energy production."
"U.S. energy resources are the envy of the world and a long-term strategic asset that strengthens our national security and fuels our economy," said Frank Macchiarola, senior vice president of policy, economics, and regulatory affairs for API. "We are pleased to see the Interior Department finally announce a restart to the long-delayed onshore leasing program required under the law, but we are concerned that this action adds new barriers to increasing energy production, including removing some of the most significant parcels."

It's a mistake. Now he looks like he's admitting he was wrong to do it in the first place, and he wasn't.My first thought upon reading the headline was, great news!

Filled up at $3.53 here last night.
I've said over and over, nationalize the oil industry.It's irrational to be held hostage by the petroleum industry.
And then drill baby drill?I've said over and over, nationalize the oil industry.
Hopefully this death bed conversion is real.Better late than never to realize that government doesn't solve problems in the economy, it only gets in the way. Hopefully this realization will stick.
In that case, stop using your gasoline powered car and stop buying things since they are being brought in by trucks and container ships that are powered by... gasoline.It's irrational to be held hostage by the petroleum industry.
High price compared to one year ago!Filled up at $3.53 here last night.
Huh? I've never said any such thing.And then drill baby drill?
It's national security really.I've said over and over, nationalize the oil industry.
But dropping steadily for the first time since well before Joe Biden took office.High price compared to one year ago!
Yes, among other things.It's national security really.
It's a mistake. Now he looks like he's admitting he was wrong to do it in the first place, and he wasn't.
He was not wrong, but he is wrong to be backing up.He was wrong and still is with this decision to put about 20% of federal lands previously available back into play - the catch is that the leasing cost was increased by 50% (which many might say is price gouging). A link with a few more details follows:

The move comes as President Joe Biden seeks new ways to help lower gas prices.www.nbcnews.com
That's pretty much what he was saying.In that case, stop using your gasoline powered car and stop buying things since they are being brought in by trucks and container ships that are powered by... gasoline.
Well there it is. PR-CYA-smoke and mirrors.He was wrong and still is with this decision to put about 20% of federal lands previously available back into play - the catch is that the leasing cost was increased by 50% (which many might say is price gouging). A link with a few more details follows:

Where do the power plants get their energy from so you can have lights?It's irrational to be held hostage by the petroleum industry.
He was not wrong, but he is wrong to be backing up.
You are not held hostage. You can live in a tent, amirite?It's irrational to be held hostage by the petroleum industry.
fixed it for you.But dropping steadily for the first time since well before Joe Biden took office.
It’s even worse to be held hostage by big green.It's irrational to be held hostage by the petroleum industry.
Germany tried that and ended up Putin's hostage.It’s even worse to be held hostage by big green.
