South Carolina moves to ban offshore drilling GlobeBusiness
Jeffrey Collins/The Associated Press
“The federal government must respect and not infringe upon state’s wishes and authority,” Campsen said. “We don’t want South Carolina’s pristine coastline to be turned into an industrial wasteland.”The South Carolina proposal is the latest action taken by a coastal state government against offshore drilling ahead of the release by the Interior Department of the 2019-2024 Outer Continental Shelf Oil and Gas Leasing proposal.
The states only control their waters up to 5 kilometres out from the coast, leaving areas further out under federal control.
