In a excellent move, for Alaska, the Alaskan people, and necessary oil production in America, Joe Biden today signed approval on the Willow project in the National Petroleum Reserve on the North slopes of Alaska. This is a great move, and ConocoPhillips Alaska’s Willow project could produce up to 180,000 barrels of oil a day, create up to 2,500 jobs during construction and 300 long-term jobs, and generate billions of dollars in royalties and tax revenues for the federal, state and local governments, the company says.
Looks like the Biden administration is not the enemy of big oil, the Republican Right wing feared and make him out to be. This is especially true when looking at the growth of production and new drilling, since his administration began.
I care about the environment, but I applaud this move. Good job, Joe.
Biden administration approves controversial Willow oil drilling project in Alaska
Climate activists say allowing oil company ConocoPhillips to move forward with the drilling plan would break Biden’s campaign promise to stop new oil drilling on public lands.
