The number of oil and gas permits approved by the Bureau of Land Management for drilling on public lands declined to its lowest number under the Biden administration in January.

Um, March 15, 2022? You're bringing us data from 2 1/2 years ago?

Here, try this:

President Joe Biden has approved nearly 50 percent more oil and gas drilling permits for wells on federal land since taking office than former President Donald Trump did in his first three years, according to newly released data from the Interior Department.

But Biden has not trumpeted the permit data, and climate activists have criticized the administration for failing to halt new fossil fuel production on federal lands as Biden promised during the 2020 campaign. Those activists have pointed to approval of the Willow oil project in Alaska, as well as the expansion of natural gas exports — which the administration moved to pause last week.

Data from the Interior Department’s Bureau of Land Management retrieved Monday showed it granted 3,377 permits to drill on public land in 2023. That’s well above the 2,507 permits that the Trump administration approved in its third year in office.
