Rick Crawford (R-AR) stated that President Joe Biden\u2019s plan to resume selling leases for oil and gas drilling on federal lands while raising royalties is an unserious plan that is \u201cdone for political purposes.\u201d And to \u201cplacate both sides.\u201d Because the increased royalties will be passed on to consumers.<\/p>\n<p>Crawford said, [relevant remarks begin around 00:50] \u201cWell, the devil\u2019s in the details. This is not a serious proposal, and it\u2019s done for political purposes. Because he\u2019s raised\u00a0the royalty rate, number one, by 6.25%. That\u2019s basically code for tax. So, he\u2019s taxing at a higher rate than has historically been the case. So, he\u2019s doing that, and that\u2019s going to be passed on to the consumer. The other thing is that he\u2019s protracted the permitting process. Okay, you can open these leases up for sale. But the permitting process is going to take so long, that it\u2019ll have very little, if any, impact in the price at the pump. And if and when they are able to resume flow, you\u2019re going to see gas prices go even higher. \u2026 It\u2019s really done to placate both sides.\u201d<\/p>\n<figure id=\"M-ROS-B1\" class=\"a8d\"><\/figure>\n<figure id=\"gmxrevmore\" class=\"H\"><\/figure>\n<p><em>Follow Ian\u00a0Hanchett on Twitter\u00a0<a class=\"x5l\" href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/IanHanchett\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener external\">@IanHanchett<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n<figure id=\"D-ROS-B1\" class=\"a8d\"><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>On Friday\u2019s broadcast of the Fox Business Network\u2019s \u201cEvening Edit,\u201d Rep.
