The administration is moving to speed fossil fuel leasing on public lands while scientists warn that ocean temperatures are entering dangerous new territory.

The Bureau of Land Management’s new Oil and Gas Rule is said to save taxpayers money, help ensure public lands are used for their highest value, and better protect communities and the environment.

The heart of the controversy lies in a 2022 sale that offered drilling rights across approximately 120,000 acres of federal territory in Wyoming.

The Bureau of Land Management is misleading the American people about the nation’s wild horses and burros.

"Biden is choosing to stand with polluters over people at the expense of frontline communities and the future of the planet."

U.S. District Judge Yvonne Gonzalez Rogers invalidated the Trump administration's move on Thursday and called the "rulemaking process resulting in the rescission was wholly inadequate."

The state used an innovative new law to fight back against the Trump administration’s expansion of oil and gas drilling—and that could provide a model for the rest of the country.

"Trump's illegal, deeply unjust fracking plan would be a disaster for Central Valley communities, as well as our climate, wildlife and water."

“Expanding extraction of dirty fossil fuels on our public lands threatens the health of our communities and the future of our climate."

Internal records from the Bureau of Land Management contradict what its chief told Congress about a plan to ship 200 D.C.-based career staff out West. The plan would weaken the agency, which stands between federal lands and oil, gas and mineral companies.
