“No more drilling on federal lands, period,” Biden said at a 2020 town hall. “Period. Period. Period.” Then, his administration approved the massive Willow oil Project on Alaska’s North Slope.
ConocoPhillips wasted no time and started road construction and foundation work immediately after approval. The coming thaw will halt construction until next winter, though.

Environmental groups have campaigned against what the Sierra Club has described as “a climate disaster waiting to happen.” A change.org petition opposing Willow had drawn 3.1 million signatures and an estimated 1.1 million unique letters have descended on the White House.

"It would be years before crude would actually start to flow from the site. #ConocoPhillips must squeeze many operations into short seasonal windows — typically from late January to late April when a hard winter #freeze allows the construction of roads and other infrastructure. Environmental groups also are expected to challenge the approval in federal court, opening new legal risk the project is further delayed or derailed."

From yesterday on NPI's Cascadia Advocate: Senator Maria Cantwell weighs in against ConocoPhillips’ Willow Arctic drilling project | #ProtectTheArctic #StopWillowProject #StopWillow
The potential devastation to Arctic ecosystems, from climate damage, “is irreversible and irresponsible to future generations,” said Cantwell. “Oil companies already have record profits and access to drilling rights on millions of acres of public lands which they should be using to meet our current fossil fuel needs.”
