In a last-minute bid to block Trump from expanding offshore oil and gas drilling, outgoing President Biden is banning new offshore drilling in most US coastal waters.<\/p>\n<p>Biden, whose term expires in two weeks, said he is using authority under the federal Outer Continental Shelf Lands Act to protect offshore areas along the East and West coasts, the eastern Gulf of Mexico and portions of Alaska&#8217;s Northern Bering Sea from future oil and gas leasing. \u201cMy decision reflects what coastal communities, businesses and beachgoers have known for a long time: that drilling off these coasts could cause irreversible damage to places we hold dear and is unnecessary to meet our nation\u2019s energy needs,&#8221; Biden said in a statement Monday.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAs the climate crisis continues to threaten communities across the country and we are transitioning to a clean energy economy, now is the time to protect these coasts for our children and grandchildren,&#8221; he said.<\/p>\n<p>\u2018If the oceans die, we die\u2019: Anti-whaler Paul Watson on activism, prison and not giving up hope<br \/>\nUS pledges 61% emissions cut by 2035 as Biden bows out Biden&#8217;s orders would not affect large swaths of the Gulf of Mexico, where most US offshore drilling occurs, but it would protect coastlines along California, Florida and other states from future drilling.<\/p>\n<p>Could Trump reverse the offshore drilling ban? Biden&#8217;s actions, which protect more than 625 million acres of federal waters, could be difficult for President-elect Donald Trump to unwind, since they would likely require an act of Congress to repeal. The 72-year-old law that Biden cited allows the president to withdraw portions of the outer continental shelf from mineral leasing, including leasing to drill for oil and gas, if the areas are deemed too sensitive to drill.<\/p>\n<p>Trump himself has a complicated history on offshore drilling. He signed a memorandum in 2020 directing the Interior secretary to prohibit drilling in the waters off both Florida coasts, and off the coasts of Georgia and South Carolina until 2032.<\/p>\n<p>Earlier in his term, Trump had initially moved to vastly expand offshore drilling, before retreating amid widespread opposition in Florida and other coastal states.Trump on Monday declared that, after he&#8217;s inaugurated on 20 January, Biden&#8217;s drilling ban will \u201cbe changed on day one.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI will unban it immediately,\u201d Trump told conservative radio host Hugh Hewitt. \u201cI have the right to unban it.&#8221; He said the US has \u201coil and gas at a level that nobody else has and we&#8217;re gonna take advantage of it. It&#8217;s really our greatest economic asset.&#8221; Trump has vowed to establish what he calls American \u201cenergy dominance\u201d around the world as he seeks to boost US oil and gas drilling and move away from Biden\u2019s focus on climate change.<\/p>\n<p><a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.euronews.com\/green\/2025\/01\/07\/an-epic-ocean-victory-can-bidens-new-offshore-drilling-ban-outlast-trump\">Read more&gt;&gt;<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Source: <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.euronews.com\/green\/2025\/01\/07\/an-epic-ocean-victory-can-bidens-new-offshore-drilling-ban-outlast-trump\">Euronews Green<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>The post <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\/vau-viikkokatsaus\/an-epic-ocean-victory-can-bidens-new-offshore-drilling-ban-outlast-trump\/\">\u2018An epic ocean victory\u2019: Can Biden\u2019s new offshore drilling ban outlast Trump?<\/a> appeared first on <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\">Vastuullisuusuutiset.fi<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[22],"tags":[17509,606,607,608],"class_list":["post-136380","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-news","tag-biden-drilling-ban-outlast-trump","tag-vau_viikkokatsaus","tag-vauen","tag-vaufien"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/136380","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=136380"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/136380\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=136380"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=136380"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=136380"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
