Supporting Domestic Energy Production: More Oil and Gas

This act aims to boost domestic oil and gas production by mandating regular land lease sales for extraction. This could lead to greater fuel availability and more stable energy prices, but also increased extraction activities in certain regions of the country.
Key points
Mandatory Lease Sales: Requires at least 4 annual onshore lease sales in specific states and 2 annual offshore sales in the Gulf of Mexico.
Increased Production: Aims to increase domestic oil and gas output, potentially impacting fuel prices and energy independence.
Presidential Action Restriction: Prohibits the President from pausing or delaying leasing processes without Congressional approval.
