Drilling in The Gulf of Mexico

 

(Daily Advertiser) — Newly inaugurated President Joe Biden enacted a 60-day ban Thursday on new oil and gas drilling permits and leases for federal lands and waters, including the Gulf of Mexico.

Thursday’s order does not impact drilling already underway or permits and leases that have already been issued.
