(TheLastPatriotNews.com) – Taking revenge on Joe Biden’s leftist policies, President-Elect Donald Trump is wasting no time in his battle to revive offshore drilling.

Determined to dismantle Biden’s restrictive policies, Trump’s proposed executive order seeks to eliminate the ban that protected 625 million acres of ocean from energy exploration.
On his first day in office, Trump plans to reverse Biden’s ban on offshore drilling, which currently encompasses vast swathes of the U.S. coastline.
This decisive action aims to promote economic growth and strengthen national energy security by tapping into America’s rich oil and gas reserves.
Biden’s ban affects areas such as the East and West coasts, the eastern Gulf of Mexico, and Alaska’s Northern Bering Sea, implemented under the 1953 Outer Continental Shelf Lands Act.
However, the path to reversing these policies is fraught with challenges.
When Trump previously tried to undo a similar ban by President Barack Obama, a federal court ruled the action unlawful.
This suggests that any new executive order might require congressional support, especially given the permanence of existing bans upheld by a 2019 court ruling.
The Republican Party’s slim majority in Congress may provide just enough leverage for Trump to achieve his aims.
Critics argue that Biden’s ban primarily served to appease environmental groups and coastal state interests, while Trump maintains his focus on job creation and bolstering the economy.
Trump’s vision includes reinstating offshore drilling and opening the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge for energy exploration.
In his own words, “I will revoke offshore oil, gas drilling ban in vast areas on day one,” emphasizing his commitment to reducing reliance on foreign energy sources, OilPrice reports.
The broader strategy under Trump leans heavily towards traditional fossil fuels while seeking to curtail renewable energy expansion, specifically targeting windmills.
His stance highlights a fundamental clash in political ideology where economic self-reliance meets environmental conservation.
Reversing Biden’s bans represents merely the opening gambit in Trump’s ambitious energy policy overhaul.
Ultimately, the fate of Trump’s offshore drilling ambitions will rest in the hands of the judiciary and Congress.
Legal battles could delay implementation, but Trump remains unfazed, insisting on the necessity for deregulation to ensure national prosperity.
Biden’s executive order to ban offshore drilling is both sinister and deeply cynical. @HouseGOP will work with the Trump Administration to overturn this new Biden edict so we can achieve American energy dominance that lowers costs for our hard working families and expands our…
