John,
Last week, the Biden Administration announced its draft plan to expand offshore drilling in the Gulf of Mexico and off the coast of Alaska.
This is a colossal step in the wrong direction. It’s a betrayal of President Biden’s commitment to cut emissions and get the U.S. back on track for our global climate goals. But here’s the thing: right now, this is just a draft.
If we join together, we can still make sure the final version has no new leases.
To do that, we need the White House and the Department of the Interior to hear our outrage loud and clear. Can you add your name today to our petition calling on President Biden and Secretary Deb Haaland to scrap this offshore drilling plan from being implemented?
John, just last month, President Biden vowed he’d use his executive power to tackle the climate crisis in the wake of the Supreme Court’s disastrous ruling in which the court sided with Big Oil over the Environmental Protection Agency.1
Allowing new offshore drilling breaks that promise. Even worse, it could open the door to oil spills and further delay the transition to renewable energy.
Let’s be clear, John: If we want to avoid the most catastrophic impacts of climate change, pursue justice for frontline communities, and secure energy independence for the American people, there’s no reality where we can continue new federal fossil fuel leasing and offshore drilling.
So if he wants to be a climate leader, President Biden must use presidential power to stop this plan and ban all offshore drilling.2
Thank you for taking action.
