OPINION: Biden approves Alaska’s Willow drilling operation, but that’s only a small step to stop next energy crisis
Sen. Dan Sullivan outlines the economic and environmental benefits of the Alaska Willow Oil Project on ‘America Reports.’This week, the Biden administration issued a long overdue approval of the Willow Project in Alaska’s North Slope, an oil production site within the National Petroleum Reserve.
All the while, the administration has been deaf to the efforts of a broad and bipartisan coalition of state and local officials, labor organizations like the AFL-CIO, industry and the American people. They all recognize that if America does not step up to fill the void left by Russian President Vladimir Putin’s belligerence in Ukraine, then Iran, Venezuela, OPEC, or any other nation will gladly take our place at the table of energy superpowers.
Climate activists hold a demonstration to urge President Joe Biden to reject the Willow Project at the Department of the Interior headquarters on Nov. 17 in Washington, D.C. The federal government created the National Petroleum Reserve for precisely this moment, and it's high time the administration got on board. Sadly, Biden seems only to be doing the bare minimum. Biden’s approval of only three out of five leases in the North Slope demonstrates this, but that’s not all.
Just as soon as his administration reluctantly gave a partial green light to the Willow Project, Biden turned around and indefinitely removed
