Biden is moving to ban new offshore oil and gas drilling in most U.S. coastal waters, using authority under the Outer Continental Shelf Lands Act.
My decision reflects what coastal communities, businesses and beachgoers have known for a long time: that drilling off these coasts could cause irreversible damage.
As the climate crisis continues to threaten communities, now is the time to protect these coasts for our children and grandchildren.
Biden's actions could be difficult for Trump to unwind, since they would likely require an act of Congress to repeal.
