washingtonpost.com/climate-environment/2024/04/12/oil-drilling-federal-lands-biden/
Quick Glance: Biden Raises Drilling Costs on Federal Lands, Trump Courts Oil Donors
- The Biden administration has finalized a new rule requiring oil companies to pay at least ten times more for drilling on federal lands to generate more revenue for taxpayers.
- While Trump discusses easing drilling regulations with energy executives, the US is historically pumping a lot of crude oil, complicating regulations for Trump and Biden's climate agenda.
- The rule mandates higher bonds and royalties for fossil fuels on federal lands to better compensate taxpayers and cover the costs of cleaning up abandoned wells.
- In addition to reshaping fossil fuel production on federal lands, the administration has advanced renewable energy development on these tracts and significantly reduced rents and fees for clean energy projects.

Iran oil exports hit 6-year high as west prepares sanctions: Surge in crude sales to China exposes limits of US and EU attempts to rein in Islamic republic
ft.com/content/00bb5653-e9aa-4af1-8f9e-705137947b32
Quick Glance: Iran's Oil Exports Thrive Amid Rising Tensions
- Iran is exporting more oil than in the past six years, providing the economy with a $35 billion annual boost, as western countries consider tightening sanctions in response to the attack on Israel.
- The US and the EU are preparing new sanctions on the Islamic republic to deter conflict escalation with Israel, facing challenges due to Iran's successful circumvention of sanctions, especially with China being its primary customer.
- Iran has found ways to bypass sanctions, shielded from western pressure as its main oil exports go to China. Tensions have escalated since the Hamas attack on Israel, driving oil prices up by over 15%, while US efforts to sanction individual tankers carrying Iranian oil have had minimal impact so far.
- Mounting Republican pressure urges the Biden administration to take tougher action on Iran's oil sales, with criticism over perceived leniency on existing measures. Despite US strategic oil reserves being released to stabilize prices, concerns remain over the administration's stance on enforcing sanctions similar to the previous Trump administration.
