The Department of the Interior (DOI) unveiled its proposal Thursday to open broad swaths of coastal waters to oil and gas drilling in a move that has drawn bipartisan resistance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The DOI directed<\/a> Bureau of Ocean Energy Management (BOEM) Thursday to take the \u201cnecessary steps\u201d to eliminate former President Joe Biden\u2019s 2024-2029 oil and gas leasing scheme. The Trump approved \u201cexpansive\u201d replacement plan seeks to develop 1.27 billion acres of viable extraction sites.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After the Biden administration imposed<\/a> a broad offshore drilling ban and set a record-low<\/a> leasing schedule, the Trump administration is now pushing to restart development across federal lands and waters. The new proposal<\/a> seeks to explore drilling off the coasts of Alaska, California and Florida.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Democratic California Gov. Gavin Newsom has staunchly opposed<\/a> the idea of drilling in Golden State waters, and even some Florida republicans have also come out against<\/a> the proposal, according to E&E News.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cOffshore oil and gas production does not happen overnight. It takes years of planning, investment, and hard work before barrels reach the market,\u201d DOI Secretary Doug Burgum said Thursday. \u201cThe Biden administration slammed the brakes on offshore oil and gas leasing and crippled the long-term pipeline of America\u2019s offshore production. By moving forward with the development of a robust, forward-thinking leasing plan, we are ensuring that America\u2019s offshore industry stays strong, our workers stay employed, and our nation remains energy dominant for decades to come.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Donald Trump's idiotic proposal to sell off California's coasts to his Big Oil donors is dead in the water.

We will not stand by as our coastal economy and communities are put in danger. https:\/\/t.co\/ZMZql40nIS<\/a><\/p>— Governor Gavin Newsom (@CAgovernor) November 20, 2025<\/a><\/blockquote>
