Just days before President-elect Donald Trump’s opening, the Biden administration is attempting to impose last-minute constraints on west coast oil and gas drilling. On Monday, the Department of the Interior announced plans to pursue a 20-year restrictions on oil and gas leases in 264, 000 hectares of Nevada’s Ruby Mountains. During the acceptance process, the administration submitted an application to remove the land from any possible rent, which resulted in a two-year ban on new material contracts in the area. The plan now heads into a 90-day public opinion time, which may fall under the Trump administration. Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack stated in a statement that the Ruby Mountains are an iconic environment with extraordinary leisure opportunities and significant fish and wildlife habitat that need to be preserved for the future. The motion today honors the viewpoints of ethnic communities, sports organizations, and conservation organizations, and it also represents a significant step in the protection of a valuable landscape.
