Call on the Biden administration to cancel the scheduled lease sales

Docket ID: BOEM-2022-0031

Offshore drilling is dirty, dangerous and threatens our health and the environment, and the Biden administration is now proposing to allow for 11 lease sales of offshore drilling. This plan backtrackson the previous policy, which canceled offshore drilling.

By continuing to add to the oil and gas infrastructure that keeps our country dependent on fossil fuels -- infrastructure like additional offshore drilling rigs -- billions of tons of greenhouse gas emissions will be released into the atmosphere.

If we're serious about combating climate change, this is the wrong course of action to take. I urge you to protect our climate and public health and schedule no new leases from 2023 to 2028.
