Juneau, AK — Governor Mike Dunleavy (R-AK) said the Biden administration suspending Alaskan oil and gas leases is “illogical” and “irrational” in a recent interview.
Dunleavy slammed President Joe Biden’s decision to suspend the leases granted by former President Donald Trump’s administration, saying it will have the opposite effect on climate change and damage U.S. oil and gas independence.
“No surprise,” he said of the decision. “But it doesn’t — it’s illogical. It’s irrational. It doesn’t make any sense. The whole idea that you’re going to stop climate change by shutting down leases in the Arctic in Alaska. It’s just going to push this opportunity overseas. And that’s what this — I’m being serious, Neil. That’s what this administration seems to be all about is canceling opportunity, canceling oil leases in the Arctic, canceling offshore oil leases.”
Dunleavy continued to point out the fallacies in Biden’s logic, claiming the United State’s competitors are laughing at the country while they line their pocket books with little concern for the environment.
“The Russians, the Chinese, the Saudis, the Iranians — they are laughing all the way to the bank. They are taking advantage of these opportunities that we’re handing them.” Dunleavy said. “In the short run, in the long run, this is going to be detrimental to this country. It’s certainly going to be detrimental to to Alaska, and it’s probably going to cost more at the pump in the near future, so across the board it makes no sense.”

Governor Dunleavy, you’re not just coming to this realization after month’s of Joe’s dithering are you? Remember the XL Pipeline? Remember the environmental lobby groups, their money and influence? Other states have suffered too. Other people have suffered, and it’s only now that you’re figuring this out?
Whose side is the President on, anyway? He is clearly not on the side of America. He inhabits an alternate globalist universe propelled by solar energy and pixie dust.
‘illogical’ and ‘irrational’ strikes me as an unfortunately appropriate comment.
Go screw yourself Alan, you friggin moron.
Tell Biden to FO and tell your crews in Alaska to keep working. Place guards to arrest any federal law enforcement stooges.
If the Government has forced companies to cancel contracts then xidung should be sued for the losses.
When did anyone ever refer to Biden as being logical or rational. I am not surprised
at any of the ignorant and moronic things that senile ole man does. We have got to
remove Biden, Harris, Pelosi and Schumer from office as soon as we can then we can
start running the rest of the Socialist/Marxist Democrats out of Congress and some
hopefully out of the country.
