Judge's Ruling Orders BLM to Resume Sales of Oil and Gas Leases on Federal Lands
U.S. District Court Judge Daniel Traynor orders the lawful drilling to resume in North Dakota.
A ruling come down Tuesday by U.S. District Court Judge Daniel Traynor ordering the federal Bureau of Land Management (BLM) to resume quarterly sales of oil and gas leases on public lands in North Dakota.
"This is positive energy for the oil and gas industry. It’s sad when it takes a court order to compel the Biden administration to obey the law, or to have the BLM do what it has been directed by Congress to do, but in this case Judge Traynor did order ot and it requires the BLM to resume their lawfully required quarterly oil and gas lease sales," The Crude Life founder Jason Spiess said.
In his ruling, Traynor found that BLM "very likely violated their mandatory statutory duties to plan and timely complete mandatory analyses of individual parcels in North Dakota" for oil and gas lease sales on federal lands.
"The Federal Defendants effectively conceded as much when they told this Court no 'determinations of availability' were made in North Dakota during Q4 2022," Traynor noted in reference to a sale that was supposed to take place in the fourth quarter of 2022, adding, "The President also proceeded to say the quiet part out loud when he announced to the public there would be 'no more drilling' in November 2022."

Sponsors, Music and Other Show Notes
Studio Sponsor: The Industrial Forest
The Industrial Forest is a network of environmentally minded and socially conscious businesses that are using industrial innovations to build a network of sustainable forests across the United States.
Weekly Sponsor: Stephen Heins, The Practical Environmentalist
Historically, Heins has been a writer on subjects ranging from broadband and the US electricity grid, to environmental, energy and regulatory topics.
Heins is also a vocal advocate of the Internet of Everything, free trade, and global issues affecting the third of our planet that still lives in abject poverty.
Heins is troubled by the Carbon Tax, Cap & Trade, Carbon Offsets and Carbon Credits, because he questions their efficacy in solving the climate problem, are too gamable by rent seekers, and are fraught with unreliable accounting.
Heins worries that climate and other environmental reporting in the US and Europe has become too politicized, ignores the essential role carbon-based energy continues to play in the lives of billions, demonizes the promise and practicality of Nuclear Energy and cheerleads for renewable energy sources that cannot solve the real world problems of scarcity and poverty.
Look at what’s happened to me.
I can’t believe it myself.
Suddenly I’m down at the bottom of the world.
It should have been somebody else
Believe it or not, I’m walking on air.
I never thought I could feel so free-e-e.
Barterin’ away with some wings at the fair
Who could it be?
Believe it or not it’s just me
