Good News! 🌊🌎
On Saturday, we posted about how the Trump administration approved drilling in the Arctic and Atlantic Oceans by a 2017 Executive Order, in favor of big oil.
US District Court Judge Sharon Gleason ruled on Friday that the executive order by President Donald Trump allowing offshore oil drilling of tens of millions of acres in the Arctic Ocean is "unlawful and invalid."
League of Conservation Voters president Gene Karpinski said in a statement that "This victory shows that no one, not even Trump, is above the law." "Offshore drilling and the associated threat of devastating oil spills puts coastal economies and ways of life at risk while worsening the consequences of climate change. President Trump wanted to erase all the environmental progress we've made, but we fought back and we won."
