Joe Biden was apparently not content with “simply” and purposely creating an energy crisis on Day One of his occupation of the Oval Office — in part by killing the Keystone XL pipeline — nor with recently pledging to block the Nord Stream 2 natural gas pipeline if Russia invades Ukraine. Yeah, not even close.
Team Biden on Wednesday canceled two major mineral leases, effectively killing the project and handing a major win to environmentalists. As reported by Mining.com, the U.S. Department of the Interior canceled the leases for Antofagasta PLC‘s proposed Twin Metals copper and nickel mine in Minnesota, throwing yet another Biden campaign promise under the bus — this one made to America’s miners.
Terrible yet disappointingly predictable news today: Joe Biden and his Democrat allies completely ignored science and banned mining. https://t.co/vvFEYXWUXE
