President Joe Biden is preparing to restrict offshore oil and gas drilling as he nears the end of his presidency. This move aims to satisfy environmentalists and hinder President-elect Donald Trump’s plans for the energy sector. The expected order would permanently ban new lease sales for drilling in specific areas of the outer continental shelf, particularly off the coast of California and in the Gulf of Mexico.
The timing of this announcement is uncertain, but it could happen soon. While many of Biden's energy policies can be reversed, the offshore drilling ban would be permanent and challenging to undo, as it is supported by a law that gives presidents the power to protect federal waters.
The Biden administration has also implemented the most restrictive five-year leasing schedule in modern history and is working on various climate policies and green initiatives. The White House has yet to respond to requests for comments on these developments.
