The Trump administration on Monday invited the oil and gas industry to nominate areas for a potential sale of ​offshore oil and gas leases in Southern and Central California to be ‌held as soon as next year.
The move is part of a push by U.S. ‌President Donald Trump’s Interior Department to expand offshore drilling. It faces strong opposition in California, a state known for ambitious climate change policies, strong environmental regulations and an iconic coastline.
Yeah, good luck on that one. The oil companies are not that stupid, and are not willing to spend millions of dollars sinking wells in places that will almost certainly be banned from drilling when Trump leaves office. Not to mention the risk involved in potential spills that result.
