BOOM!
President Biden is reportedly set to issue a last minute executive order that would permanently ban new oil & gas drilling in large areas of the Atlantic and Pacific in a move that will make it very difficult for Trump to undo.
The legal framework for this hinges on the Outer Continental Shelf Lands Act, which allows the president to restrict areas from oil and gas leasing. Undoing such a ban could require Congress, as there's no explicit provision for reversal by executive action alone.
