Contributing sentiments towards policy:

57% : New research from the Center for Biological Diversity found that the Biden Administration has approved 900 more permits for oil and gas drilling on public lands than the Trump Administration did in its first year.
43% : Instead of siding with the oil billionaires who will appeal this decision, President Biden should learn a lesson from this case, not appeal the court's ruling, and listen to the Black leaders, Indigenous leaders, environmental justice advocates, and climate activists urging him to reject the dangerous fossil fuel projects currently under federal review, while rapidly and equitably deploying clean energy with a stroke of his pen."
40% : The Administration failed to stop major projects like the Line 3 tar sands pipeline, defended oil drilling in the Arctic, promoted fossil fuel exports, and allowed drilling, mining and fracking to continue on Native and public lands.
