Biden reportedly planning to enact a permanent ban on offshore oil and gas leasing

President-elect Donald Trump is expected to overturn many of Biden’s anti-fossil fuel actions, but he might not be able to reverse a possible permanent ban on offshore oil and gas development.

President Joe Biden may take one more shot at the oil and gas industry before he departs the White House.

According to Bloomberg, citing unnamed sources, the president plans to issue a decree that would permanently ban new offshore oil and gas development within U.S. coastal waters.
