Native Americans Buck Biden Climate Agenda, Demand Right to Develop Fossil Fuels on Their Lands

Leaders of Native American tribes across the country are calling for the Biden administration to allow for their tribes to continue with fossil duel production on their lands.

According to Fox News, both tribal leaders and energy experts have criticized the administration’s efforts to restrict energy production, with the Department of the Interior simultaneously pursuing climate policies limiting fossil fuel production on federal lands and waters, while expressing support for tribal sovereignty.

Last year, the Biden administration let the Department of Energy National Coal Council charter lapse, and the administration has also pursued emissions standards and restrictions that target the coal industry which many tribes are dependent on.
