It’s codified into enacted legislation, that wonderful climate change bill everyone loves. Federal lands have to be leased for fossil fuels. And whats worse, no renewables can be leased to federal land unless millions of acres are already leased to fossil fuels.
Does the bill specify the cost of the lease? What is stopping the federal government from making the lease so expensive that it isn’t desirable or gives us enough cash to build HSR connecting every MTA with >500K population from Portland Maine to Miami
Its not a set price, its competitive lease bidding, which the bill also requires, meaning oil and gas companies just try to outbid eachother for the land.
