The Biden administration has 30 days to issue a final decision on whether to approve the Willow oil drilling project in Alaska.
Proponents of the Willow project, including the state's congressional delegation and some Alaska Native tribal governments, say the plan would create more than 2,500 jobs for the Alaska residents, deliver up to $17 billion in revenue for the federal government and boost the country's domestic energy security.that it "welcomes and continues to review" the government's environmental analysis and said the decision "represents a major milestone in the permitting process.
"We believe Willow will benefit local communities and enhance American energy security while producing oil in an environmentally and socially responsible manner," Erec Isaacson, president of ConocoPhillips Alaska, said in a statement. Sen. Joe Manchin, a conservative Democrat from West Virginia and chairman of the Senate Energy and Natural Resources Committee, said the administration's decision to advance the project is an "important step towards reestablishing American energy independence and strengthening American energy security."
"Alaska has a robust history of contributing to American energy security and this project will position them to continue that legacy," Manchin said in a statement.
