Biden to Implement Permanent Ban on Oil Drilling in Significant Federal Waters

Credited from: NYTIMES

  • President Biden is expected to ban new oil and gas drilling in vast areas of the Atlantic and Pacific oceans.
  • The ban will be enacted using the Outer Continental Shelf Lands Act, allowing significant withdrawal of federal waters from drilling activities.
  • This move is viewed as a major success for environmental advocates, coinciding with the hottest year on record.
  • Biden's decision may solidify his climate change legacy as he leaves office, amid threats from President-elect Trump to reverse such policies.
  • The Act allows the ban to stand, as prior attempts to lift similar restrictions have been ruled unrevocable without Congressional approval.
