My totally hip new pastime: noting the differences between how oil and gas trade associations and actual oil and gas companies talk about Biden's leasing moratorium. Some examples...
MORATORIUM ORDER SHOCKS NEW MEXICO OIL INDUSTRY - @NMOilAndGas (their caps, sry)

I have to say we were not entirely surprised by the announcement. In fact, President Biden said during the campaign that he would issue a temporary moratorium on new leasing. - @conocophillips
A ban on leasing and permitting is a death sentence to the industry in the West. - @WesternEnergy1

We're very confident on being able to continue operations. - @DevonEnergy
The oil & gas lease moratorium on federal lands that Biden announced will erase thousands of blue-collar jobs - @IPAAaccess

We certainly already have... a large inventory of existing federal permits that will sustain activity for several years. - $EOG
For what it's worth, I think they're all full of some degree of shit.
