Offshore Drilling Fuels the Climate Crisis and Threatens the Economy

 

Dirty and dangerous offshore oil drilling threatens our ocean, while exacerbating the climate crisis. Oceana’s analysis finds permanent offshore drilling protections for unleased federal waters could prevent over 19 billion tons of greenhouse gas emissions as well as more than $720 billion in damages to people, property and the environment.
