This memo insinuates that the regime intends to end all drilling and exploration on federal lands permanently, without regard to energy or other interests.

The national average for a gallon of unleaded gasoline is currently $4.59, the highest price ever. Truckers on the East Coast are being told there will be shortages of diesel this summer.
