Activists are outraged that Biden was open to permitting the project, which they said put Biden’s climate legacy at risk and breaks his campaign promise to stop new oil drilling on public land. Biden approves Willow oil project in Alaska despite protests:
comes a day after the administration, in a big move toward conservation, said it would bar or limit drilling in some other areas of Alaska and the Arctic Ocean.
The administration’s decision is not likely to be the last word, with litigation expected from environmental groups. "This decision is bad for the climate, bad for the environment and bad for the Native Alaska communities who oppose this and feel their voices were not heard,'' Goldfuss said. Alaska’s Republican U.S. senators warned any further limits could kill the project, rendering it uneconomic.
