The Interior Department’s Bureau of Land Management released an environmental analysis that proposes lowering the number of drilling sites from five to three under the project, which is led by ConocoPhillips , Alaska’s largest crude oil producer.
The Biden administration has 30 days to issue a final decision on whether to approve the Willow project in the northernmost part of the state. The Interior emphasized it could select a different option, including taking no action or postponing a ruling about permits to more than one drill site.
The Willow project would produce about 600 million barrels of oil over 30 years and would generate around 278 million metric tons of carbon emissions, according to Interior estimates. Environmental advocates argue the plan would undermine the Biden administration’s agenda to curb fossil fuel production and say the project’s emissions would be roughly equivalent to what 66 new coal-fired power plants produce in a year.

“Our window to act is rapidly closing to avert catastrophic climate change, and this plan only takes us one giant step closer to the edge,” Miller said. “We should be prioritizing ways to preserve this irreplaceable ecosystem, by protecting critical wildlife and subsistence resources and avoiding increased climate pollution.”
More evidence that Biden is serious about running for re-election. Kinda late though.
What’s the catch......there’s ALWAYS catch with these people.......another opportunity to screw Americans perhaps?
True-—his polling must be far worse than the margin of error for cheating.
To be revoked after the election.
Make the announcement and get the credit. The Deep State will slow walk all the regulation approvals which will take years, and then kill it by process.
Yeah, after Saudi’s rejected Biden begging for more oil.
And now China+Iran+Saudi are aligned with Russia.
Which means Ukraine needs more money from United States.
So Biden needs more tax revenues from Alaska oil.
This isn’t for re-election use since Deep State will be exporting the oil.
They think we are idiots they really do.
He probably got a cut. All the oil and gas industry had to figure out is that Biden is for sale. Make sure that Biden and his family get a cut and Biden forgets about all that Climate Change BS.
They don’t think we are idiots, they think their own base is—and they are right.
RE: To be revoked after the election.
Won’t the companies and businesses gearing up for this project anticipate this?
Yep, just in time for the election.
Let’s not lose sight of the fact that his handlers are crafty and devious. And they know how to manipulate the voters.
The old geezer has a decent shot at getting re-elected. After all, we elected BHO twice.
Sounds like they may realize the catastrophe they caused by shutting down domestic production, perhaps planning for a major war in the coming years.

Not if they pay to play. That’s the Dems’ big game don’t you know.
I agree.
Probably more serious about how they can make money from this. Approval was discussed and probably won't be given unless Biden et. al. can be assured of their not-insubstantial-cut.
Yeah, I'm a cynic.
Of course, all the Biden Bribers are securely locked in place to steal the profits from the American People.
