Biden has talked the climate talk, but is he walking the walk?
US holds first of several oil and gas auctions as COP28 gets underway
Edit: I love how people are giving Biden excuses, clearly a cult. Funny no one in the West/US gave the UAE and other Arab countries the same benefit of the doubt when it came to oil deals during COP28. Hypocrisy? Racism? It doesn't matter, I like pointing it out.
From your article beyond the headline:
This is the hypocrisy and double-standards I expected, but if you really care you should pay attention. Biden's plans make Saudi Arabia and the UAE seem environmentally conscious by comparison.

Issuing literally any leases at all is suicidal.
We have seen huge restrictions on oil products due to Russia invading Ukraine. Countries need to get their oil from somewhere else; with the US being one of the best options for bulk sourcing.
Yeah it's almost like a war suddenly broke out that cut most of the US' allies off from their normal oil supplies meaning that even in transition to green energy the US has to raise oil production to balance the prices out!
To transition from one source of energy to the other you have to still have the first source to make it as easy as possible.
Yep. Walking the walk.
Biden canceled the keystone XL pipeline.
Biden actually committed money to combating climate change, which no president has done in any significant capacity until now.
Biden stopped a bunch of drilling on public lands that was illegal until dumps made it legal for a few years.
Biden's renovating hundreds of thousands of government buildings and government vehicles with sustainable technology.
Biden established two white house committees focused on identifying and recommending solutions for environmental problems in the country that affect communities.
I am going to guess you are not American. Our system is kind of fucked I'll admit, but at the moment it appears our options will be Biden or Trump. Knowing what you know who would you vote for? In our current system a third party vote used to be the signal of "our two party system sucks." But in the present world it feels like we're stuck with either meet and the middle and hope or burn it all to the ground.
Biden Administration Oil, Gas Drilling Approvals Outpace Trump’s
