Biden's administration plans a 20-year ban on oil, gas, and geothermal development in Nevada's Ruby Mountains.

President Biden's administration plans to ban oil, gas, and geothermal development in Nevada's Ruby Mountains for 20 years, affecting about 264,000 acres of federal lands. The move initiates a 90-day public comment period and halts development for two years during review. This decision, requested by Native American tribes and conservationists, contrasts with President-elect Trump's plan to boost oil and gas production. However, mining activities will still be allowed in the area.
