Our new analysis with @HealthyGulf & @GCCLP shows that ending federal offshore oil and gas lease sales in the next Five-Year Program would have less than a penny per gallon increase on gas prices over the next 19 years - @maxinejoselow ejus.tc/3y30ITb

This new report is clear: Saying no to oil and gas leasing in public waters and investing in justly sourced renewable energy is a win-win for the Gulf South. #NoNewLeases #WeChooseNow
