\nEstimada Secretaria Jewell: <\/p>\n
Le escribimos con respecto al programa de arrendamiento de petr\u00f3leo y gas de la plataforma continental exterior (OCS) propuesto para 2017-2022 y los efectos posteriores en los objetivos clim\u00e1ticos de nuestra naci\u00f3n. Instamos a que el pr\u00f3ximo programa de arrendamiento de cinco a\u00f1os de OCS se abstenga de abrir nuevas reservas de combustibles f\u00f3siles para el desarrollo a fin de cumplir con el compromiso del Presidente de mantener el aumento de la temperatura promedio del planeta por debajo de 2\u00b0 Celsius. Creemos que para mantener una pol\u00edtica clim\u00e1tica coherente, las reservas de combustibles f\u00f3siles del programa OCS deben protegerse permanentemente de nuevos desarrollos. <\/p>\n
En enero de 2015, el Departamento del Interior public\u00f3 un borrador del programa propuesto (DPP) para el programa de arrendamiento de petr\u00f3leo y gas de la OCS 2017-2022. El DPP incluy\u00f3 tres \u00e1reas de planificaci\u00f3n en el Golfo de M\u00e9xico, dos en el Atl\u00e1ntico y tres en Alaska. Si bien nos complace que el DPP no haya abierto nuevas reservas de carbono frente a la costa del Pac\u00edfico, las \u00e1reas de planificaci\u00f3n propuestas a\u00fan abarcan casi 80% de recursos estimados de petr\u00f3leo y gas no descubiertos y t\u00e9cnicamente disponibles en la plataforma continental exterior de EE. UU., y tienen el potencial de desbloquear las emisiones. de 90 mil millones de barriles de petr\u00f3leo crudo y 405 billones de pies c\u00fabicos de gas natural.<\/p>\n
Seg\u00fan la ciencia m\u00e1s actual, al mundo le quedan aproximadamente 1.000 gigatoneladas de emisiones de CO2 antes de alcanzar el umbral de calentamiento de 2\u00b0 Celsius. La Agencia Internacional de Energ\u00eda estima que si el mundo contin\u00faa con su actual curso de emisiones, agotaremos nuestro presupuesto de carbono para 2040, lo que destaca la necesidad apremiante de detener el desarrollo de nuevas fuentes de energ\u00eda de combustibles f\u00f3siles. Dado el urgente cronograma, es a\u00fan m\u00e1s importante que la mayor\u00eda de las reservas sin explotar, como el petr\u00f3leo en los oc\u00e9anos \u00c1rtico y Atl\u00e1ntico, permanezcan bajo tierra para evitar un calentamiento de 2\u00b0 Celsius. <\/p>\n
Si bien aplaudimos los esfuerzos de la Administraci\u00f3n para combatir el cambio clim\u00e1tico a trav\u00e9s del Plan de Energ\u00eda Limpia y otras iniciativas, nos preocupa la contradicci\u00f3n inherente en la propuesta del Departamento del Interior de ampliar el arrendamiento de aguas p\u00fablicas y facilitar el desarrollo de nuevas reservas de combustibles f\u00f3siles.<\/p>\n
Las aguas p\u00fablicas federales de nuestra naci\u00f3n deben gestionarse en beneficio del p\u00fablico estadounidense y desbloquear nuevas reservas de carbono en el Oc\u00e9ano Atl\u00e1ntico y \u00c1rtico, adem\u00e1s de seguir ofreciendo nuevos arrendamientos en el Golfo de M\u00e9xico, muchos de los cuales tienen el potencial de producir petr\u00f3leo y gas durante d\u00e9cadas en el futuro, va en contra de los mejores intereses de esta naci\u00f3n. La expansi\u00f3n propuesta del Programa de Arrendamiento de Petr\u00f3leo y Gas de la OCS 2017-2022 contradecir\u00eda los objetivos clim\u00e1ticos del Presidente y amenazar\u00eda innecesariamente a las comunidades, los recursos y los ecosistemas locales, al mismo tiempo que da\u00f1ar\u00eda el clima global.<\/p>\n
Instamos firmemente al Departamento del Interior a examinar cr\u00edticamente el impacto sobre el cambio clim\u00e1tico de la expansi\u00f3n de la producci\u00f3n de petr\u00f3leo y gas en las etapas posteriores del desarrollo del plan 2017-2022. Dada la ciencia predominante y la necesidad cr\u00edtica de reducir r\u00e1pidamente las emisiones de carbono, creemos que es imperativo que el gobierno federal no ofrezca nuevos arrendamientos y haga todo lo posible para rescindir los arrendamientos existentes que no producen, para el desarrollo de combustibles f\u00f3siles en aguas p\u00fablicas en el exterior de los EE. UU. Programa de arrendamiento de petr\u00f3leo y gas de la plataforma continental. <\/p>\n
Le solicitamos que informe al Congreso sobre c\u00f3mo su agencia planea incorporar el cambio clim\u00e1tico en el Programa de Arrendamiento de Petr\u00f3leo y Gas de la OCS 2017-2022, y explique c\u00f3mo la expansi\u00f3n del desarrollo de combustibles f\u00f3siles en aguas federales cumple con el compromiso de la Administraci\u00f3n de mitigar el cambio clim\u00e1tico global. Le solicitamos que proporcione esta informaci\u00f3n antes de que su agencia publique el Programa Final Propuesto y la Declaraci\u00f3n Program\u00e1tica de Impacto Ambiental Final para el Programa de Arrendamiento de Petr\u00f3leo y Gas de la OCS 2017-2022. <\/p>\n
