Red states and industry groups sue Biden administration

A coalition of Louisiana-led states—Alabama, Alaska, Georgia, Louisiana, and Mississippi—and fossil fuel groups, including the American Petroleum Institute (API) and Gulf Energy Alliance, have filed a lawsuit against the Biden administration. They are challenging memos that ban new oil and gas leasing across 625 million acres of federal waters, citing economic harm and constitutional overreach.
