Bloomberg is reporting today that Joe Biden is set to ban offshore drilling in areas of the county’s outer continental shelf and he’s doing it in a way that is designed to make it more difficult for Trump to overturn.

Here’s the news:

President Joe Biden is preparing to issue a decree permanently banning new offshore oil and gas development in some US coastal waters, locking in difficult-to-revoke protections for sensitive marine areas during his final weeks in the White House.

Biden is set within days to issue the executive order barring the sale of new drilling rights in portions of the country’s outer continental shelf, according to people familiar with the effort who asked not to be named because the decision isn’t public.

The move is certain to complicate President-elect Donald Trump’s ambitions to drive more domestic energy production. Unlike other executive actions that can be easily undone, Biden’s planned declaration is rooted in a 72-year-old law that gives the White House wide discretion to permanently protect US waters from oil and gas leasing without explicitly empowering presidents to revoke the designations.

The move responds to pressure from congressional Democrats and environmental groups who have lobbied Biden to “maximize permanent protections” against offshore drilling, arguing the action is essential to safeguard vulnerable coastal communities, protect marine ecosystems from oil spills and fight climate change.

White House and Interior Department officials didn’t immediately respond to requests for comment.

Biden administration officials have been considering the approach for more than two years, though their efforts intensified after Trump’s victory, as the outgoing president sought to enshrine new environmental measures before the end of his term.

Biden is focused on nothing but trying to hamstring Trump with lawsuits when it comes to overcoming his decrees on oil and gas. As I said earlier today, what a pos. Sorry, but that’s just how I feel.
