Trump Keeps Oil Permits Moving in Shutdown, Halts Renewables

The department’s Bureau of Land Management, which oversees about 245 million acres of public land, said staffers handling those issues are exempt from furloughs in part to address a national energy emergency that President Donald Trump declared earlier this year.
