Obama Expected to Ban Offshore Drilling in Some Federal Waters

WASHINGTON — President Obama is expected to announce as soon as Tuesday that he will use his executive authority to permanently ban new offshore drilling in parts of federally owned waters off the Atlantic coast and in the Arctic Ocean, according to people familiar with the decision.

Mr. Obama, who is searching for ways to bolster his environmental legacy in the last days of his administration, is expected to use a provision in the 1953 Outer Continental Shelf Lands Act to ban the drilling, according to those people, who spoke on the condition of anonymity because plans for the announcement were not yet final.

The 1953 law, which governs how the executive branch uses and leases federal waters for offshore energy exploration, includes a provision that allows presidents to put those waters off-limits to oil and gas drilling. Presidents Dwight D. Eisenhower, Richard M. Nixon and Bill Clinton used the law to protect sections of the Atlantic, Pacific and Arctic Oceans, but those protections came with time limits, usually one to two decades.

They would like you to believe that, but should opportunities knock, watch how fast Obama's action is undone.

Any executive order by Obama can be easily and immediately rescinded by Trump. If Obama does such a thing, it will be about politics not policy just like all his other decisions in the last eight years.

We have a shitload of oil wells not even working right now because oil is so cheap.

We don't need "drill baby drill " .

Obama isn't banning drilling anywhere. When those leases were bought by the oil companies, there was a time limit. If they didn't drill on them within a certain amount of time,they would revert back to the federal government. Obama is only enforcing the rules of the contract. Once they are no longer under lease, there is nothing Trump can do about it other than have another auction, and that involves more than just his signature.

Wholesale pardons for felons.
Intent to release more than a dozen more Gitmo terrorists.
Block offshore drilling.

Barry is trying to do as much damage before he leaves as he can.

 

[easyt65]

You remember when Barry blocked drilling down in the Gulf...the court said he could not do so, and overturned it.....and shortly after Barry was found in Contempt of Court for disobeying the court's orders.

Barry breaking the law...good times...

Obama isn't blocking off shore drilling. The time limit on those leases is up. If the oil companies wanted to drill there, they had their chance, and they could have kept their leases. Too bad they didn't read their contact.-------You might want to look up the Pugh Clause.

Sorry Barry, you don't own the continental shelf. You can't permanently ban it.

You mean right after the Deep Water Horizon blew up and was pumping heavy crude into the Gulf?

If BP hadn't fucked up so bad, good times were on the way..

WASHINGTON — The Obama administration is proposing to open vast expanses of water along the Atlantic coastline, the eastern Gulf of Mexico and the north coast of Alaska to oil and natural gas drilling, much of it for the first time, officials said Tuesday.

The proposal — a compromise that will please oil companies and domestic drilling advocates but anger some residents of affected states and many environmental organizations — would end a longstanding moratorium on oil exploration along the East Coast from the northern tip of Delaware to the central coast of Florida, covering 167 million acres of ocean.

Renew the leases.

Nope. That's Ivanka in 2000 at a fashion show. She was 19 at the time. Great tits though. Too bad about having to have that star. Her nipple is really nice.
I guess showing off their titties is a thing in Trump's family.

Not what's happening. You should listen to something besides fake news.

Its not a law. Its an illegal EO which can be reversed on day one.

You should look up the Pugh clauses. The oil companies failed to live up to that clause in the lease contract. Drilling isn't being banned. The oil companies are losing their leases because they didn't live up to the contract.
