Biden to Permanently Block All Future Oil Drilling in 625 Million Acres of U.S. Oceans.

on

In a landmark environmental move, President Joe Biden has announced the permanent closure of approximately 625 million acres of U.S. ocean waters to new oil drilling. This decision comes as part of the administration’s broader commitment to combat climate change and protect marine ecosystems. The vast area, covering both the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans, will now be off-limits to new oil exploration and extraction activities.

The ban, which will take effect immediately, aims to preserve vital habitats for marine life and support efforts to reduce the nation’s carbon footprint. It also signals the administration’s continued push for a transition to renewable energy sources, seeking to balance economic growth with environmental sustainability.

Environmental groups have strongly supported the decision, calling it a major victory for ocean conservation. However, the move has faced opposition from some lawmakers and industry representatives who argue that limiting oil drilling could harm energy production and increase fuel prices.

The Biden administration has emphasized that this decision is in line with its goal to reach net-zero emissions by 2050, ensuring the U.S. plays a leading role in addressing global climate challenges. This development is seen as a significant step forward in the country’s environmental policy, reinforcing commitments made during international climate summits.
