A federal judge invalidated the results of an oil and gas lease sale in the Gulf of Mexico on Thursday saying the Biden administration failed to properly account for the auction's climate change impact.

Because the Biden administration didn't consider the climate impact of the sale, the whole deal has been tossed out (for now) undoing a fairly sizable sale of public property to private firms.

not considering the climate impact? This must be part of that collection of "too far left" actions performed by his presidency.

It's great until the republicans blame you for gas price increases true or not. This is just bad optics. The suburban swing voter will hate this.

True. We should've let this deal do through, further privatizing public land for oil companies, against established rules and regulations, just so we don't look bad. That's good politicking
