“The Willow project’s approval is great news for Alaska, but the Biden administration banning new oil and gas development across 16 million acres in Alaska is a bad deal…Taking future oil production in Alaska off the map won’t decrease global oil consumption.

In the end, every American pays the price when President Biden restricts our ability to develop our own energy resources.” — Governor Mike Dunleavy
