"The Trump administration has teed up the entire Gulf region for a Deepwater Horizon sequel with its approval of BP's extremely risky ultra-deepwater drilling project, said Brettny Hardy, senior attorney at Earthjustice, one of the groups."
"The green lighting of BP's project sets a dangerously low bar for oil-and-gas companies that want to drill in our public waters."
Environmental groups have filed a lawsuit against the Trump administration for approving BP's Kaskida project, which involves ultra-deep oil drilling in the Gulf of Mexico. This approval comes 16 years after the Deepwater Horizon disaster, which caused extensive environmental damage. The Kaskida project will drill 6,000 feet deep and aims to extract 80,000 barrels of oil per day. The lawsuit claims the project poses significant risks to the environment and local communities, with concerns about setting a low standard for future drilling operations.
