Congress Blocks Oil and Gas Leasing Program in Coastal Plain Area.
Congress passed a resolution nullifying a federal agency decision that permitted the leasing of land for oil and gas exploration and development in the Coastal Plain area. Consequently, the leasing program is halted, meaning energy exploitation of this ecologically sensitive region will not proceed. For citizens, this maintains the current environmental protection status of the area, at the expense of potentially increasing domestic fuel production.
Key points
Halting the program for issuing oil and gas exploration and drilling leases in the Coastal Plain.
The Bureau of Land Management's decision regarding energy exploitation in this area is canceled.
Maintaining environmental protection in a sensitive area, preventing new drilling operations.
