  • President Biden has permanently restricted access to over 625 million acres of federal waters for oil and gas exploration, a move seen as politically motivated.
  • Critics argue this ban jeopardizes the U.S.’s competitive edge in energy, especially with rising demand from industries like artificial intelligence.
  • The Bank of America predicts electricity demand will increase significantly, challenging the reliance on renewable sources and raising concerns about grid stability.

  • Industry leaders have criticized the ban as a significant blow to the oil and gas sector, highlighting the potential costs to the economy as foreign investments surge under a future administration.
