"I sent a letter along with my fellow attorneys general Lynn Fitch of Mississippi and Ken Paxton of Texas, to President Trump and Interior Secretary Burgum, to discuss our shared goal of immediately reversing the harmful policies of the Biden administration, which were a systematic effort to destroy this country’s oil and gas industry. These policies threatened our State’s economy and jeopardized our shared goal of restoring the country to a position of ‘Energy Dominance.’ We urge the administration to suspend and revoke Joe Biden’s BOEM Rule. The Biden administration wanted to destroy the offshore industry through bureaucratic fiat, and the Rule was an unnecessary proxy designed to hurt domestic oil and gas activity in federal waters. To achieve American Energy Dominance, we must repudiate the destructive and ill-informed policies of the Biden administration, starting with the immediate suspension and revocation of the Rule," said Attorney General Liz Murrill.
