1. From the article:

   > During Mr. Trump’s first term, the Interior Department initially proposed to open nearly all U.S. coastal waters to drilling. But, in response to concerns from Republicans in the Southeast who worried that oil spills could damage tourism and fishing, the agency enacted a moratorium on drilling off Florida, Georgia and South Carolina through 2032.

   Ah yes, the ultimate NIMBY. Blue State California is fine to despoil, but not near Mar-a-Lago.
