ai generated text

Joe Biden implemented a ban on offshore drilling across coastal waters just before Donald Trump took office. The ban covers specific regions, including the entire Atlantic coast, eastern Gulf of Mexico, Pacific coast off California, Oregon, and Washington, as well as a section of the Bering Sea off Alaska.

    White House
    1. With today's withdrawals, President Biden has now conserved more than 670 million acres of US lands, waters, and ocean -- more than any president in history.

    Democratic Party
    1. As 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.
    2. In balancing the many uses and benefits of America's ocean, it is clear to me that the relatively minimal fossil fuel potential in the areas I am withdrawing do not justify the environmental, public health, and economic risks that would come from new leasing and drilling.

    Donald Trump
    Republican Party
    1. It's ridiculous. I'll unban it immediately... I have the right to unban it immediately.

    1. We urge policymakers to use every tool at their disposal to reverse this politically motivated decision and restore a pro-American energy approach to federal leasing.

    Evergreen Action
    1. Americans on both sides of the aisle support protecting our oceans from big oil giveaways.
    2. President Biden's bold action today underscores that we cannot afford the continued expansion of oil and gas production if we are to meet our climate targets and avoid the worst impacts of the climate crisis.
  6. US
    Joseph Gordon
    Oceana
    1. Our treasured coastal communities are now safeguarded for future generations.
