The federal government’s decision could come as soon as March 6, and members of Alaska’s congressional delegationto put themselves on the record in support. In speeches at the State Capitol this month, Rep. Mary Peltola, D-Alaska, and Sen. Dan Sullivan, R-Alaska, urged lawmakers to pass a resolution in support of Willow.
Sen. Lisa Murkowski, R-Alaska, is scheduled to address the Legislature on Wednesday and is expected to amplify the call to action on Willow. According to environmental impact statements published by the federal government, if the oil produced by Willow is burned, it would create 260 million metric tons of carbon dioxide, more than counteracting the Biden administration’s actions through March last year,That group, and the environmental law firm Earthjustice, are among those that have called for the Biden administration to limit or cancel Willow.
If the government limits drilling to two sites, Willow would no longer be economically viable, Erec Isaacson, the president of ConocoPhillips Alaska,Monday’s resolution says the Legislature supports “Alternative E,” the proposal with three drill sites.
