Tom Jensen Quoted in Bloomberg Law—U.S. Oil Thirst Defies Easy Fix of Drilling on Federal Lands
Tom Jensen was quoted in "US Oil Thirst Defies Easy Fix of Drilling on Federal Lands," an article in Bloomberg Law, regarding high oil prices resulting from Russia's invasion of Ukraine that aren't expected to prompt the Biden administration to abandon its climate policy and turn to federal oil and gas leasing to bring more crude to the U.S. market.
"The administration has signaled that it has no plans to change its tactics on these issues," said Thomas Jensen, a partner at Perkins Coie LLP. "When the president and his entire leadership team has a uniform view of the urgency of the climate crisis, nobody down the food chain feels exposed when taking a hard line on these issues."
