Donald Trump's imminent return to the White House and Republicans' newfound control of both the House and the Senate following the 2024 election pushed Democrats to make a series of moves across a broad array of areas to try to 'Trump-proof' Joe Biden's legacy. Energy policy is one of them.
Outgoing President Joe Biden is reportedly planning to take advantage of provisions in the 1953 Outer Continental Shelf Lands Act to permanently ban his successor from achieving his energy policy goal of dramatically ramping up domestic energy production.
Sources told Bloomberg Biden is getting ready to announce an executive order prohibiting portions of America’s outer continental shelf deemed critical to coastal environmental resilience from being sold off to energy companies for exploration.
The affected waters could include areas of the Pacific coast, and waters near Florida in the Gulf of Mexico.
