"By moving forward with the development of a robust, forward-thinking leasing plan, we are ensuring that America's offshore industry stays strong, our workers stay employed, and our nation remains energy dominant for decades to come,"
"If Trump gets his way, coming to a beach near you soon!"
""another outrageous announcement" from an "out of control administration.""
"The California coastline is not the East Wing of the White House,"
The Trump administration released a plan to open federal waters off the coast of California to oil drilling. Administration officials said new oil and gas leases will restore energy security, protect American jobs, and keep the offshore industry strong. Interior Secretary Doug Burgum framed the leasing plan as forward-thinking and necessary for energy dominance. California leaders and environmental groups strongly opposed the proposal, citing environmental risks and political conflict. Lawmakers convened to condemn the plan and backed legislation to prohibit new West Coast leases. A 60-day public comment period will begin when the plan appears in the Federal Register.
