» News Alert: Federal judge throws out Biden administration’s massive Gulf of Mexico oil and gas lease sale, faulting its climate analysis
| Judge Rudolph Contreras, of the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia, threw out 1.7 million acres of oil and gas leases on the grounds that the federal government had incorrectly concluded that the climate impacts would be worse if the acreage went unsold. Environmentalists had challenged the November sale, which netted nearly $192 million and ranked as the most profitable offshore auction since March 2019. |
