Alaska's $10B Willow oil project: ConocoPhillips gets $10.3B, feds get $6B, and Alaska taxpayers... actually PAY for it through tax credits that exceed state revenue.
Who designed this deal? 🤔

Indigenous people's rights are under attack by Trump's administration: two weeks ago, Trump attempted to end their birthright citizenship, a constitutional right.

Remember when your climate president approved the ConocoPhillips Willow drilling project in Alaska? Drilling has begun in places, but some activists managed to bring the decision back into court.

"The government’s attorney, Amy Collier, said experts at the agencies did consider that an increase in greenhouse gas emissions would cause the Arctic to lose sea ice, which the region’s polar bears depend on. But, she said, the link wasn’t direct. They didn’t have evidence that the specific emissions resulting from the Willow project would shrink sea ice in this part of the Arctic, hurting this particular population of polar bears."

That is some insulting sophistry. #BullShit #ClimateChange #Climate #ClimateCrisis #FossilFuels #Oil #WillowProject #USpol #KeepItInTheGround

Willow opponents try again, this time in a U.S. appeals court, to block ConocoPhillips oil development in Alaska

At the 9th Circuit, opponents of the Arctic drilling endeavor said the government didn't fully consider climate impacts before approving it.

Exactly. If you doubt that Biden has accomplished much, look at #willowproject and #GenocideinGaza.

One reason I posted about the Gaza hospital explosion and the #FogofWar is because there's a new campaign starting that is intended to harm Democrats chances to regain control over the U.S. energy and climate policy related to the LNG plants which is similar to the disinformation that has been spread on the #WillowProject

You cannot start the transition of an economy like in the U.S. away from fossil fuels without compromising with the fossil fuel industry some during the initial stages.
