What was stopping the 1953 Outer Continental Shelf Lands Act before Biden invoked it?

Why was drilling being allowed in the first place?
Why is it so easy for Biden to now invoke the act and so hard for Trump to reverse?
CNN headline: Biden permanently bans offshore drilling in 625 million acres of ocean, making a Trump reversal difficult

The action, which CNN reported on Friday, invokes the 1953 Outer Continental Shelf Lands Act, a law that gives presidents broad authority to withdraw federal waters from future oil and gas leasing and development.
The law does not give presidents explicit authority to revoke the action and place federal waters back into development, meaning President-elect Donald Trump would have to get Congress to change it before he could reverse Biden’s move.

This is one of those cases where you have to look at the intent of the law via Congressional communications rather than the letter of the law
ETA: whenever you see broad and explicit clauses are total opposites either Congress meant for it to be an executive decision that only Congress can override OR they understood at the time that the rescinding an EO did not need approval from Congress.

No one was stupid enough to ban almost all offshore drilling until Biden came along.

Lulz, the law DOES NOT state that. Here is the actual wording
quote:
Paragraph 1341. Reservation of lands and rights
(a) Withdrawal of unleased lands by President
The President of the United States may, from time to time, withdraw from disposition any of the unleased lands of the outer Continental Shelf
It clearly says this law is variable. And does not say Congress has to do anything to allow it "from time to time" as written word for word in the law. The only time Congress is required to act, is in relation to a declaration of national defense
quote:
during a state of war or national emergency by the Congress or the President of the United States after August 7, 1953, to suspend operations under any lease;
This is such a nothingburger

I agree and it could be said that this only is in effect while the president that makes the withdrawal is president.

Trump should have told Biden when they met last month, that any funny business will result in Jill, Hunter, and his brother having a real bad time with the doj. Prosecute them all for treason.

I figure CNN was either stupid or intentionally misleading.
Thanks for the clarification.
