In a significant environmental move, US President Joe Biden has enacted a ban on offshore drilling across large expanses of coastal waters, including the entire Atlantic coast and parts of the Gulf of Mexico. The decision is made to protect the environment amidst growing climate concerns. Biden’s action under the Outer Continental Shelf Lands Act may pose challenges for Donald Trump, who plans to boost fossil fuel production in his upcoming term. Environmental groups have praised the ban, claiming it safeguards coastal communities for future generations.
