Quote:The move tees up a fight over offshore energy as President-elect Donald Trump plans to turbocharge domestic oil and gas production as part of his pledge to cut U.S. energy costs in half in the first 18 months of his presidency.
Biden’s prohibitions on leasing will rely on powers under the Outer Continental Shelf Lands Act, which withstood its only major legal challenge when a federal court in 2019 denied the Trump administration’s attempt to unwind an Obama administration withdrawal of areas for offshore oil and gas drilling near Alaska. That ruling will complicate Trump’s ability to rescind the upcoming action, leaving it to Congress to overturn.
