Climate activists are in disarray over the “existential threat” posed by an oil drilling project in Alaska that has reportedly received support from the Biden administration.
Democrat Sen. Jeff Merkley also bashed the reported move by the Biden administration to give the go-ahead to the Willow Project, calling the move by Biden a"betrayal" of his promises.
"The Willow Project, an $8bn oil project, is an existential threat to Alaskan Native communities. Biden is expected to approve it to fill the gap left by a US-led Western boycott of Russian oil and gas. US carbon imperialism starts at home," Indigenous organizer and journalist Nick Estes wrote in a tweet.
Bill McKibben – an author and environmentalist who founded 350, a self-described"international movement of ordinary people working to end the age of fossil fuels and build a world of community-led renewable energy for all" – also took aim at the Biden administration's likely approval of the Willow Project, claiming it is a"world-class carbon bomb."
