…John Leshy, a #PublicLands expert who served in the #Interior Dept during the Carter & Clinton admins noted that the state was the only leaseholder left in the #refuge. The #Biden admin could have standing to cancel those leases if it found that #environmental reviews & other compliance measures on the leases had been inadequate.

(Under Trump? Ya think? His EPA at the time was run by Scott Pruitt, a #ClimateChange denier!)

One lease sale was held, but most #oil companies stayed on the sidelines. The sale attracted only three bidders, including the state.

President #Biden, on his first day in office, signed an executive order halting #Arctic #drilling & later suspended the leases granted under the #Trump admin.

Today is the 57th anniversary of the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge. Its coastal plain supports millions of birds and other wildlife, but less than 2% of this habitat is currently protected. http://ow.ly/fPNb30h3hg9 #ProtectTheArctic
