Outgoing President Joe Biden on Monday moved to permanently ban offshore oil and gas drilling across more than 625 million acres of U.S. coastal territory, protecting swaths of the East Coast, the eastern Gulf of Mexico, the Pacific, and Alaska's Northern Bering Sea from fossil fuel exploitation just before President-elect Donald Trump is set to retake power.

Are people just figuring out that law is complicated? You’re right, it can be undone through corrupt actions but that doesn’t mean that the Biden administration hasn’t taken the steps they could to make it permanent.

i think it's been pretty thoroughly demonstrated that the law doesn't apply to trump
