Fact check: Biden temporarily banned new oil and gas leasing on public lands

 https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/factcheck/2021/01/30/fact-check-biden-orders-dont-completely-ban-fracking/4315441001/

The claim: Biden is banning fracking

Our rating: False

We rate this claim FALSE, based on our research. A Facebook claim stating that Biden is following through with a fracking ban referenced an article from a conservative opinion website that notes the Biden administration's recent environmental action. Biden signed two executive orders placing a temporary moratorium on new oil and gas leasing on public lands and offshore waters, but he has not banned fracking. The president said he will not put an end to fracking in remarks released by the White House.

    He hasn't banned fracking but he has made it economically unfeasible through increased regulation. It's the passive-aggressive approach. Sure you can frack, just jump through these 30 hoops and then wait 5 years until we approve you
