WASHINGTON (Reuters) – A U.S. circuit judge on Wednesday reinstated the Biden administration’s pause on new oil and gas leasing on federal land and waters, a key piece of the president’s climate change strategy.

The judge, who serves on the 5th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals, vacated a Louisiana district court decision to block the Interior Department’s leasing pause after Louisiana and a dozen states sued the administration established arguing that they would suffer injury from the policy.
