Debunked: The myth that Biden is the ‘Drill, Baby, Drill’ Prez – ‘Increase in fossil energy production on federal lands during Biden admin clearly is result…of strong leasing…activity in 2019-2020’ – Leasing ‘fell dramatically during the 2021-2023 period’

Via Pielke Jr.’s website: By Benjamin Zycher, Senior Fellow (and colleague of mine) at the American Enterprise Institute

Excerpt: Zycher: Fossil energy production from federal lands is the end result of a lengthy process comprising complex preliminary analyses, leasing, exploration, permitting, and development; pursuit of a lease on specific federal acreage is highly speculative, driven by some perceived potential for fossil production years in the future, under market conditions that are uncertain at best, and which may or may not yield an actual resource economically viable

As discussed above, the number of new drilling permits issued in a given year is driven heavily by leases approved in prior years, followed by the geologic and other analyses needed to determine if a drilling permit is worth pursuing.

The increase in fossil energy production on federal lands observed during the Biden administration clearly is the result in substantial part of strong leasing and leasing acreage activity in 2019-2020. Both fell dramatically during the 2021-2023 period. The central conclusions to be drawn are that Mr. Biden is not the “drill, baby, drill” president, and that fossil energy production on federal lands is likely to decline during the next two to four years.
