The Trump administration wants to open up nearly all the country's off-shore areas for oil drilling, including leases off of Florida and California for the first time in decades, and reversing an Obama-era policy.
Secretary of the Interior Ryan Zinke announced that his department is planning the largest number of oil lease sales in U.S. history starting next year. It would open up 90% of off-shore land for drilling as part of a five-year plan. It reverses an Obama-era plan that would have kept only 6% of the same acres available for drilling.
