Trump abandons offshore drilling plan, at least for now by alexnazaryan
WASHINGTON— The decision appears to hamper President Trump’s plan for “energy independence,” which relies heavily on domestic fossil fuel extraction.
That ruling effectively protected 128 million acres from energy exploration, including ecologically sensitive areas off the coast of Alaska and elsewhere. The Department of Interior has tried to downplay the significance of the development. “Given the recent court decision, the Department is simply evaluating all of its options to determine the best pathway to accomplish the mission entrusted to it by the President,” Interior spokesperson Faith Vander Voort told Yahoo News. She would not say whether the White House had instructed the department to drop the offshore drilling plan.
