What Natural Resources Defense Council (NRDC) filed (2)

Feb 12, 2023· Comment from Natural Resources Defense Council· BOEM-2022-0031-176402

Dear Secretary Deb Haaland: Please accept these 107,350 public comments from members and online activists of the Natural Resources Defense Council (NRDC) urging you to protect our coastlines and the communities and wildlife who rely on pristine, oil-free oceans. We are highly concerned with your proposal to lease off our coastlines in the Gulf of Mexico and possibly Alaska to risky, dangerous offshore oil drilling. Just one spill could harm or kill millions of marine creatures, threaten the livelihoods of those of us who live and work along the coasts, and coat entire coastlines with a layer of crude oil that would take years, if not decades, to clean up. The U.S. is on track to hit all-time records on both oil and gas production this year. Expanded drilling will have NO impact on rising gas prices. And fossil fuel companies have said themselves that they already have the rights to drill on enough land to sustain production for at least ten years. Leasing our ocean to oil and gas companies will only lock us into the climate-destroying fossil fuels of the past for decades to come at a time when we need to be rapidly transitioning to 100% clean energy to save our planet. We implore you to scrap the lease sales included in the five-year offshore drilling plan and commit to NO new lease sales instead. Thank you!
