49% : "Trump certainly has the power to challenge Biden's order, which is grounded in Section 12 of the Outer Continental Shelf Lands Act of 1953.
48% : No one really knows if Trump can fulfill his promise to "un-ban it," but he certainly should try.
42% : "Even though global organizations like the United Nations and many national governments seem certain to keep up their efforts to subsidize an energy transition into reality, the truth is that no one really knows whether that project can succeed before governments run out of money to keep funding the ever-increasing subsidies required.
29% : A reading of that section indicates a clear congressional intent that it be used only for national defense reasons and during times of national emergency, but several past presidents - including Barack Obama and Trump himself - have used this provision as justification for past drilling bans.
