LAFAYETTE â President Joe Biden has signed into place a sixty day moratorium which would suspend new drilling permits on U.S. land and waters in hopes to determine any impact on the environment.
Environmental organizer for the Sierra Club Darryl Malek-Wiley tells us, The moratorium effort, along with a number of others, are to take real action on reducing United States greenhouse gas and the impact on climate change.
According to the U.S. Geological Survey, oil and gas extracted from public lands and waters account for about twenty five percent of U.S. production annually. The process of removing and burning those fuels generates almost 550 million tons of greenhouse gases every year.
