Trump opens parts of Florida, California waters up to offshore oil drilling, breaking decades of precedent​


The Trump administration is proposing to open federal waters off the entire coastline of California to drilling, as well as an area off the coast of Florida. Neither state’s waters have been open to new drilling for decades.

President Donald Trump’s Interior Department released a five-year offshore drilling plan on Thursday that would open up vast parts of California’s coastline to drilling, which hasn’t happened in that state since the late 1960s. The Department is also proposing new oil drilling in parts of the Eastern Gulf — located approximately 100 nautical miles off Florida’s coast — a decision opposed by Florida’s Republican leadership.

The Trump administration’s proposal would open the Eastern Gulf to federal oil drilling auctions starting in 2029. It would open auctions for drilling in central and southern California in 2027 and northern California in 2029.

The oil industry has been advocating for opening up parts of the Eastern Gulf that are adjacent to areas where oil production has been happening for decades in the Central Gulf, an industry source told CNN.

Flaying about sounds like a good term for this.

Why do Florida Republicans oppose drilling?

Because constituents do. The perennial fear of an oil spill.

And not unfounded, if we think back to that massive BP oil spill/rupture during the Obama years

Tourism, real estate, any industry that requires people to function really, whole vital ecosystems & their associated markets, they disappear overnight when an oil emergency like that occurs



It'll always be a controversial industry depending on what side of the possible eco-disaster one is on

Nobody wants an oil spill. But people need the oil. How much potential revenue the locality could make by playing ball vs their risk tolerance is ultimately decided by the constituency

Good thing that those industries are actively being strangled by this administration without a oil spill then.
 
Well, let’s keep our fingers crossed for Team Manatee then. It’s not in Canada’s national interest for the U.S. to expand their existing domestic oil production at lower cost and in close proximity to existing pipeline and refinery infrastructure that it could basically plug into.
