Consider writing about:
A ban announced by President Biden on Jan. 6 on new leases for offshore oil and gas drilling; areas to which the ban applies, and when it is to take effect; what the action means for oil companies’ existing leases; authority under which President Biden invoked the ban; what to know about the 1953 Outer Continental Shelf Lands Act; whether Congress or the incoming Trump administration could modify or overturn the ban; and perhaps a related look at business and legal trends involving offshore drilling nationwide, either recently or in the context of a comparison between the Biden administration and the first Trump administration.
