(ANSA) - WASHINGTON, 01 JUL - The Biden administration has proposed a program that prohibits new drilling off the Atlantic and Pacific coasts but allows for their limited expansion in the Gulf of Mexico and off Alaska, with the sale of 11 licenses in 5 years .

In this way the president denies the electoral promise to prohibit any new drilling permit for gas or oil in land and waters to fight against climate change.

And he risks discontenting both environmentalists and the fossil energy industry, which was pushing for greater expansion.
