Biden Proposal Would Mean Fewest Offshore Oil Drilling Leases In US History

 The Biden administration laid out its offshore oil and gas leasing program for the next five years on Friday morning, with only three Gulf of Mexico lease sales through 2029 - resulting in the fewest offshore oil drilling leases in U.S. history.

Under the terms of a 2022 climate law, the government must offer at least 60 million acres of offshore oil and gas leases in any one-year period before it can offer offshore wind leases.

The three oil lease sales are the minimum number that can be legally offered if the Biden administration wants to continue expanding offshore wind development, according to the Associated Press.

"The release of the U.S. offshore leasing program, mandated by law and long overdue, is an utter failure for the country," Erik Milito, the president of the National Ocean Industries Association, a trade association specializing in offshore energy, said in a press release.

"The White House simply ignores our energy realities in once again limiting U.S. energy production opportunities." The proposed plan was also criticized by West Virginia Democrat Sen. Joe Manchin.

The two plans under the Obama administration included more than 10 offshore oil and gas sales each lease, Fox reports.

"The Biden Administration announced its bare-bones offshore five-year leasing program designed to meet the letter of the Inflation Reduction Act law," President of the U.S. Oil and Gas Association Tim Stewart told Just the News.
