15 states sue Trump administration over Alaskan Arctic oil and gas leasing

"Defendants' insufficient environmental review and Record of Decision that opens the entire Coastal Plain to oil and gas leasing and development are unlawful," the states' attorneys general wrote in a filing Wednesday. The move comes after Bernhardt announced plans last month for an oil and gas leasing program in the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge, clearing the way for drilling in the remote Alaskan area, a long controversial issue.

Trump’s speeches continues to breed hate and divide the races. Trumpards you are not no. 1, if the middle class does not work together against the top 1 percent, many jobs will become obsolete. Minorities are not your enemy and are not taking your jobs. You are being lied too.

FAKE NEWS !

Thats bcuz if Trump. He wants to rape the land here

What grounds can they sue another state for!

It's about time you guys United and started fighting back towards Trump's policies instead of remaining silence

Donald removed the protection from that land and gave the okay to start drilling whenever and wherever.. And proud supporters will back him.. No matter what he does or says.. To them he is god.. Their false messiah..

We are destroying this planet. It’s going come a time when it’s going to be to late too turn back. Hasn’t the virus, the fires, and heating of the earth taught us anything. Leave the planet alone. Please

ADULT DEMOCRAT WOMEN TERRORIZE 7 YEAR OLD BECAUSE HE HAS A TRUMP HAT ON. TELL JOEBIDEN TO PLEASE STOP PAYING BAIL FOR RIOTERS, ANTIFA. LEAVE KIDS ALONE

Thank you.

Good for them. Hope to God they win

Thank God!!!

Why sue in 2020 for something approved by Gov't in 2017? Politically timed, & meritless. Sacrifice is needed by all to maintain our nation's self-sufficiency. These lands are a great asset, let's utilize them responsibly and reduce our reliance on enemies!!!

The U.N. states that the Earth's 3 biggest polluters are China, India, & Pakistan. Tackle the biggest violators first, then impose your carbon taxes & strangling regulations on American businesses. (Of course China will tell you to go screw yourself).

Taxpayer, conservation groups pressure U.S. to halt drilling auctionsU.S. taxpayer and conservation groups on Tuesday will urge the Trump administration to halt plans to sell oil and gas leases on more than 300,000 acres of public lands this month, saying prices are unlikely to be competitive due to the weakened state of the drilling industry. “Taxpayer” group? How pretentious! Certainly, many taxpayers are not part of such an all- encompassing “group”.... Pound sand I mean its pointless as it isn't even the cheapest form of energy right now. If it actually was the cheapest source of energy by all means but it simply is more expensive. Soon solar will be so cheap, it will be like people buying once expensive calculators for 1/10th the price.
