A New Bureau Will Oversee Both #OffshoreDrilling and #SeabedMining
The new federal office will undo a change made after the 2010 #DeepwaterHorizon oil disaster. Critics say it could reduce environmental oversight.
The new agency, #MarineMineralsAdministration, will be formed by reunifying two offices that had been split up after the oil spill in an effort to increase environmental oversight of the energy industry and prevent future oil disasters.

‘#GodSquad’ Waives #Environmental Rules for #OffshoreDrilling
Panel voted to override #EndangeredSpeciesAct restrictions on #oil and #gas activities in the #GulfOfMexico, home to critically endangered #whales and other imperiled wildlife.
#EndangeredSpeciesCommittee, a high-level group that is often called the God Squad because it essentially holds the power to decide whether a species lives or dies, adopted the move during a brief, closed-door meeting on Tuesday.

Trump Administration Orders Restart of Pipeline Tied to Major California Oil Spill
Environmental groups warn using the Defense Production Act to revive the system sets a “radically dangerous precedent.” -
BREAKING: Trump & his MAGA minions have opened a public comment period on his plans to drill ALL our coasts. Help us send a record breaking number of comments to tell Trump: No offshore #drilling here. No #offshoredrilling there.

The #Trump admin is proposing to open federal #waters off the entire coastline of #California to #drilling, as well as an area off the coast of #Florida. Neither state’s waters have been open to new drilling for decades.

#Trump to propose opening #California Coast to #oil #drilling for the first time in roughly 4 decades, acc/to 3 people.
The move would set up a confrontation with Gov #GavinNewsom, a #Democrat who has fought #OffshoreDrilling & who has emerged as one of Trump’s chief political antagonists. Newsom is in Brazil for the #UN #climate summit, where he is drawing a contrast between himself & Trump, who denigrates efforts to fight #GlobalWarming.

Sable Offshore Corp., based in Houston, is facing a slew of legal challenges but is determined to restart oil production off the coast of California, even if that means confining it to federal waters, where state regulators have virtually no say.

President Joe Biden is moving to ban new offshore oil and gas drilling in most U.S. coastal waters, a last-minute effort to block possible action by the incoming Trump administration to expand offshore drilling.

The Deepwater Horizon oil spill was not an isolated incident but part of a pattern of systemic failures in offshore drilling. A new study reveals that the industry has not learned from past mistakes and continues putting profits over safety. This means that the risk of another environmental disaster is still high, and the public should demand more accountability and regulation from the oil companies.

#Biden administration moves ahead with massive Gulf of Mexico drilling auction, weeks after approving Willow Project
I am sure "progressives" in US, still call him the "greenest president in US modern history".A few weeks after allowing the controversial Willow oil drilling project in Alaska to go forward, the Biden administration is auctioning off more than 73 million acres of waters in the Gulf of Mexico to offshore oil and gas drilling.
It could be the first Gulf of Mexico lease sale under the Biden administration that actually results in new drilling, after previous auctions were embroiled in legal challenges and delays.
On Wednesday, the Interior Department’s Bureau of Ocean Energy Management will hold a lease sale for an area that’s more than double the size of the Willow Project in acreage. The administration was forced to hold the sale after Joe Manchin added it to the Inflation Reduction Act, the major climate and energy bill that President Joe Biden signed last year.
Of the 73 million acres offered by the Biden administration, companies signaled interest in bidding on 1.6 million acres, according to federal data posted Tuesday night.
Environmental groups have already filed a lawsuit to try to stop the lease sale, saying Interior’s environmental analysis is flawed. They also take issue with the size and scope of sale.
