Court Rules Biden Overreached His Presidential Authority on Offshore Drilling Ban
A federal judge in Louisiana ruled that President Biden's withdrawal of large coastal areas from offshore oil and gas drilling was illegal.
The judge stated that the ban exceeded executive authority under the 70-year-old Outer Continental Shelf Lands Act and broke with longstanding executive practice because it was intended to be permanent.
- Withdrawals of offshore areas from drilling by former President Barack Obama were similarly ruled illegal.
- These rulings were made because the withdrawals were issued for "a time period without specific expiration."
Offshore oil and gas exploration and production are important to energy and national security, providing 14% of U.S.
Author's summary: Biden's offshore drilling ban was deemed illegal by a federal judge.
