Trump expands ban on new Florida offshore drilling sites
In this mention
President Trump signed an executive order extending and expanding a ban on offshore drilling off Florida's coastline, extending the moratorium by 10 years and adding protections for the Atlantic coast off Florida, Georgia, and South Carolina. Susan Glickman, Florida director for the Southern Alliance for Clean Energy, criticized Trump's environmental record, noting his rollback of over 100 environmental laws and regulations and his denial of climate change impacts on Florida's economy.
For Donald Trump, who claims Florida as his home, to continue to deny climate change and its impacts is tantamount to abandoning the state. There's huge implications to Florida, and every part of our economy — real estate, tourism, agriculture — is jeopardized by his lack of action.
