flag The Trump administration proposes new offshore oil drilling off California, Florida, and Alaska, reversing Biden-era policies amid environmental and political backlash.

flag The Trump administration unveiled a five-year offshore oil leasing plan that would allow drilling off California and Florida for the first time in decades, including six lease sales along California’s coast and new projects in the South-Central Gulf of Mexico, at least 100 miles from Florida’s shore. flag The plan, part of a broader push for U.S. "energy dominance," also includes over 20 lease sales off Alaska, including a new area in the High Arctic. flag It reverses Biden-era climate policies and faces bipartisan opposition from Florida and California leaders, who warn of environmental and economic risks. flag Industry groups support the plan, citing job creation and energy independence, while environmentalists and coastal communities raise concerns over ecosystems, tourism, and past oil spills. flag The proposal is open for public comment before final approval.
