President-elect Trump is vowing to un-ban drilling on millions of acres of U.S. coastal and offshore waters. President Biden on Monday invoked the 1953 Outer Continental Shelf Lands Act to ban new drilling and further oil and natural gas development on some 625-million acres of U.S. coastal and offshore waters. The move puts areas along the east and west coasts, the eastern Gulf of Mexico and portions of Alaska’s Northern Bering Sea off-limits for future oil and natural gas leasing. President elect Trump wrote on X that he would -quote-“unban it immediately.”
