EDIT: Biden Backs $8 Billion Alaska Oil Project. I don’t know why someone gave this shortform an immediate −9 downvote, but for those EAs that still care about climate change, thank you.
A massive and controversial new oil production project in Alaska is under review by the US Department of the Interior.
ConocoPhillips’ massive Willow Project would be a climate disaster, locking in at least 30 years of fossil fuel production on sensitive Arctic ecosystems near Indigenous communities. It would unleash high levels of pollution—roughly the equivalent of 66-76 coal plants worth of carbon to the air—and directly undermine President Biden’s climate goals.
