A D.C. federal judge ruled that the Bureau of Land Management did not adequately analyze the potential climate change and wildlife impacts of a major oil and gas lease sale covering roughly 120,000 acres of federal land in Wyoming. Despite this, the first public land oil and gas lease sales under the Biden administration survived a lawsuit challenging their legality, marked by the hashtag #oott. The litigation was brought by environmental groups against six oil and gas leases in the western United States, with a particular focus on the leases in Wyoming, which are now threatened by the environmental ruling.
