"President Joe Biden is reportedly preparing to restrict offshore oil and gas drilling in his final days in office, a move that would placate the environmentalist lobby and potentially obstruct President-elect Donald Trump’s plans to unleash the U.S. energy sector, according to Bloomberg News.

Biden’s reportedly forthcoming order would permanently ban new lease sales for oil and gas drilling in certain regions of the outer continental shelf, according to Bloomberg News, which cited anonymous sources familiar with the situation. Some elected Democrats and many well-funded green groups have pushed Biden to implement permanent environmental policies in the waning days of his presidency to fluster Trump’s “energy dominance” agenda.

While the scope of the order is currently unclear, there have been internal discussions about targeting certain areas off the coast of California and in the Gulf of Mexico, according to Bloomberg News. It is also unclear when the administration will announce the policy, though it could be within a matter of days.

While many of the Biden administration’s energy policies will be relatively easy to reverse, the reportedly forthcoming offshore drilling decree will be permanent and “difficult-to-revoke” because it is enabled by a law that permits presidents to protect federal waters from drilling without clearly allowing them to walk back prior designations, according to Bloomberg News. Still, Trump could try to roll back Biden’s order, though it is not clear whether or not he would be successful. The offshore protections are clearly at odds with Trump’s campaign promise to unshackle and unleash the U.S. energy sector.

The Biden administration also worked to reduce offshore oil and gas activity by issuing the most restrictive five-year leasing schedule in modern history in 2023.

The lame duck administration has also been working to finalize climate policies and disburse funding for various green initiatives in the wake of the election, doing things like blocking oil and gas development in Nevada’s Ruby Mountains for 20 years and finalizing massive taxpayer-funded loans for green energy companies.

The White House did not respond immediately to the Daily Caller News Foundation’s request for comment."

Thanks, Lee.

The ban would be a significant victory for environmental advocates who have long argued that new drilling is inconsistent with the need to sharply reduce greenhouse gas emissions from burning oil and gas that are dangerously warming the planet. The year that just ended was the hottest in recorded history. The move would also cement Mr. Biden’s legacy on climate change as he prepares to leave the White House after a single term.

That's more like it, no?

Suck on that, DL. Sleepy Joe got in first.

Makes sense, ya? Now the US can continue on the path to renewable energy. Sleepy can go down as the prez who saved the world from your DL.

Cheers, big ears.

donny gets to blame high gas prices on the previous administration

US oil and gas is currently drilled more under the Biden administration than at any time in your DL's previous administration, you silly old thing. The US is currently the world's largest exporter, but I'm curious.

Why do you think the decision of oil companies to turn their taps higher or lower depends on POTUS?

The US currently produces more oil because foreign oil costs more. If the global price of oil suddenly went down, Gulf and Texaco would adjust their taps accordingly.

This is called constructing the "win/win", but who are we kidding?

You'll make up whatever krap you want to jizz to. You hear DRILL BABY DRILL and start gushing.

Ever get the feeling you've been DRILLED?
