National Journal: The White House issued veto threats Tuesday to a pair of House bills that would limit the federal government's ability to regulate energy production.
The administration's opposition comes as no surprise, and neither proposal is likely to pass the Senate. One bill, sponsored by Rep. Doug Lamborn, R-Colo., would limit the government to 60 days to reject onshore drilling permits before they are considered automatically approved. Other provisions would require more area to be made available for leasing and impose fees on protests of drilling projects.
