August 10, 2023. Thursday
I lived here, Bon Secure, Alabama, By the Bon Secour River, Mobile Bay and the Gulf of Mexico.
‘Bon Secour’ means a 'safe harbor. ‘good security.’ I worked in a nearby town. It was a quiet, secluded place, off the highway, back in the woods. Narrow, winding dirt and gravel roads - a few were paved. It was mostly shrimpers, fishermen and their families who lived there, and others in the seafood business. But you can’t keep a treasure secret for long. Real Estate Developers swooped down like vultures. Condos, shopping malls, and all the horrors of an American city replaced much of its beauty and peace.
#Biden administration moves ahead with massive Gulf of Mexico drilling auction, weeks after approving Willow Project
I am sure "progressives" in US, still call him the "greenest president in US modern history".
A few weeks after allowing the controversial Willow oil drilling project in Alaska to go forward, the Biden administration is auctioning off more than 73 million acres of waters in the Gulf of Mexico to offshore oil and gas drilling.
It could be the first Gulf of Mexico lease sale under the Biden administration that actually results in new drilling, after previous auctions were embroiled in legal challenges and delays.
On Wednesday, the Interior Department’s Bureau of Ocean Energy Management will hold a lease sale for an area that’s more than double the size of the Willow Project in acreage. The administration was forced to hold the sale after Joe Manchin added it to the Inflation Reduction Act, the major climate and energy bill that President Joe Biden signed last year.
Of the 73 million acres offered by the Biden administration, companies signaled interest in bidding on 1.6 million acres, according to federal data posted Tuesday night.
Environmental groups have already filed a lawsuit to try to stop the lease sale, saying Interior’s environmental analysis is flawed. They also take issue with the size and scope of sale.

Tropical Weather: Another two possible systems after Iota
This is based on the Nullschool Earth weather visualiser, and is tentative, but looking out five days to November 18, there seem to be another two tropical systems forming. One NE of Hispaniola, the other north of Venezuela. Iota is also shown just south of Yucatan.
These will be storms #31 & #32, Kappa and Lambda.
Links currently indicate projected system centres. These may move with time.
