“Biden’s last-minute effort to secure his climate legacy before Donald Trump takes office does nothing to prevent offshore drilling in the central and western Gulf of Mexico, where intense fossil fuel exploitation already causes pollution and oil spills as climate change brings intensifying floods and storms to coastal communities.”
“In a statement, Biden called the massive BP oil spill that devastated the Gulf of Mexico in 2010 a ‘solemn reminder’ of the risks offshore drilling poses to fisheries and coastal communities - but the area of the Gulf where the spill occurred is not protected under Biden’s executive action.”
