A federal appeals court has ordered the Biden administration to sell drilling rights in the Gulf of Mexico within 37 days, dismissing efforts to restrict Gulf drilling over concerns for an endangered whale. The decision is a defeat for environmentalists who argued that oil leasing and development in the region imperil the whale. The lawsuit over the 2010 Deepwater Horizon oil spill has also raised questions about BP's influence over research.
