Alaska North Slope
and
Equivalent area in Russia
I have personally been to both the Komi Republic and the North Slope of Alaska. Cannot compare the two.
Images are supersized so you can see any spilled oil - or complete lack thereof....

The Biden administration issued a long-awaited study Wednesday that recommends allowing a major oil development on Alaska’s North Slope, and the move — while not final — drew immediate anger from environmentalists who saw it as a betrayal of the president’s pledges to reduce carbon emissions and promote clean energy sources.
ConocoPhillips Alaska had proposed five drilling sites, and the alternative proposed by the U.S. Bureau of Land Management calls for up to three drill sites initially. Even as the land agency released its report, the U.S. Interior Department said in its own press release that it has “substantial concerns” about the Willow project.
The Bureau of Land Management, which falls under Interior, in the report also said that identifying a preferred alternative “does not constitute a commitment or decision” and notes it could select a different alternative in the final decision.
Opponents have raised concerns about the impacts of development on wildlife, such as birds and caribou, and efforts to address climate change. …

Um. Good? I think?
Propaganda for 2024.
They won’t allow the serious work to start prior to Nov. 2024, then they’ll kill it.
Why? Does he realize it might be beneficial to the country? I can’t believe it will happen.
With the RIGHT hand Biden says "drill baby drill"..
With the LEFT hand Biden assists environmental groups who will fight relentlessly to SHUT IT DOWN.
This is like the student loan forgiveness road that leads to nowhere.
Bait for 2024 that action goes against all his actions.
That’s okay. France and Germany suddenly started mining coal again . . .

while the president prepares the SOTU speech and soon after announces running for president again...
Meanwhile, he knows that drilling takes time to get going... and by the time the campaigns are over...
he does a Peanuts move and pulls away the football at the end of the campaigning, if he, by some miracle (aka: stealing the election again) wins a second term.
Just remember that nothing is mentioned about the intended destination of this oil if drilled.

That ship has sailed. The Canadians got tired of US government farting around with it and made other arrangements.
The United States is now producing >12 million barrels per day with WTI at $76.70. The price may need to edge up a bit to get new fields in Alaska into production.
Let me guess, they’ll allow drilling in locations that make no economic sense to drill.
France is now a net exporter of electricity .
With 44 reactors now finally reconnected out of 56, France’s nuclear power availability has hit 73.7 percent. Great news.
Sounds like a weasel fart.
Smells like a weasel fart.
Yup.
Hot stank air signifying nothing .
Aka
Verbal Joe droppings.
Cost cutting...Dept of Interior. Leave it to the states.
Oooooh, anger!
Screw those brain-dead, spoiled, virtue-signaling, low IQ wankers.
(This is just 2024 election pandering, anyway.)
