new concessions are controversial in the United States

Researchers have identified 425 carbon bombs around the world. These are projects that could nullify the fight against global warming. There are none in France. These are essentially mines or gas and oil extraction projects. In the United States, new oil concessions are opening to meet exploding demand.

It’s a turnaround. Two years ago, Joe Biden had pleaded during his campaign for the end of new drilling to promote the increase in renewable energy. This solution has been strongly criticized by environmentalists. Even major US oil and gas companies are hesitant to invest in these new wells. This is why, even if the big companies acquire these federal lands, they may come up against problems with the supply of materials and very skittish investors.
