Biden remains determined to halt all coastal drilling, pushing relentlessly.
President Biden Pushes for Ending Oil Drilling on the East Coast, West Coast, and Gulf of Mexico
President Joe Biden expressed his strong determination to put an end to all oil drilling on the East Coast, West Coast, and in the Gulf of Mexico. In a sit-down interview with The Weather Channel meteorologist and Pattrn co-host Stephanie Abrams, the president discussed his climate change agenda.
Addressing Gen Z’s Concerns
Abrams raised the concerns of Gen Z, emphasizing their anger over the 7,000 oil and gas permits approved during Biden’s time in office. She questioned whether he had broken his promise of no new drilling on federal land or offshore.
“Yes because the courts overruled me. The courts said I couldn’t do it. I wanted to stop all drilling on the East Coast and the West Coast and in the Gulf, but I lost in court,”
Biden explained, acknowledging the legal limitations he faced. However, he highlighted the significant progress made in the private sector towards alternative energy. With $250 billion invested in solar facilities and technologies like electrolyzers, the president emphasized the ongoing advancements.
Acknowledging the Climate Change Crisis
Biden firmly stated, “Finally, finally, no one can any longer deny that we don’t have a problem with climate change.” He emphasized the administration’s efforts in conserving land, rejoining the Paris climate accord, and passing a $360 billion climate control facility.
“We’re moving. It is the existential threat to America,”
the president added.
Declaring a National Emergency on Climate Change
Abrams sought clarification on whether Biden had already declared a national emergency on climate change. The president responded, “Practically speaking, yes.”
On Wednesday, President Biden delivered remarks at the groundbreaking ceremony for Arcosa, a wind tower manufacturing facility expanding operations in Albuquerque, New Mexico.
