Biden's Offshore Drilling Ban: Protecting 625 Million Acres Ahead of Trump's Presidency

Credited from: TIME

  • President Biden has announced a ban on new offshore oil and gas drilling along most of the U.S. coastline, safeguarding over 625 million acres of coastal waters.
  • The ban affects the entire Atlantic coast, eastern Gulf of Mexico, Pacific waters off California, Oregon, and Washington, and parts of Alaska’s Bering Sea, reflecting concerns about environmental risks.
  • Biden cited the climate crisis and the need to protect coasts for future generations as primary reasons for this executive order, emphasizing that drilling poses unnecessary risks.
  • This last-minute decision is aimed at blocking potential expansion of offshore drilling by the incoming Trump administration, which has pledged to boost domestic fossil fuel production.
  • Environmental advocates hailed the action as a significant victory for coastal communities, while Trump’s spokesperson criticized it as “a disgraceful decision” affecting energy independence.
