The U.S. Interior Department has recommended to the White House that all federal offshore oil and gas drilling auctions over the next five years be located in the Gulf of Mexico, where the drilling industry has already been focused for decades.
- The U.S. Interior Department has recommended to the White House that all federal offshore oil and gas drilling auctions over the next five years be located in the Gulf of Mexico, where the drilling industry has already been focused for decades, according to two sources familiar with the matter.
The Biden administration is due to unveil the proposed five-year offshore development plan on Thursday, as mandated by a Congressional deadline. It is unclear if the proposal will match Interior's recommendation to focus solely on the Gulf, or whether the White House made changes to include other regions.
Biden, conversely, had campaigned on a promise to end all new federal drilling to combat climate change. But his early efforts to suspend leasing were also blocked in court.
