WASHINGTON— On April 15, the U.S. Department of Interior announced that it will resume oil and gas leasing on public lands throughout the West in June. Today, climate, conservation and community groups from across the country filed administrative protests challenging these plans.
The groups say President Joe Biden “should end new leasing to heed his own climate goals while protecting communities, water and wildlife,” according to a press statement from a coalition of groups.
