- President Biden is planning to approve an $8 billion oil drilling project on federal land on Alaska’s North Slope next week, according to multiple reports.
- His expected authorization of ConocoPhillips’ Willow Project, the largest proposed oil project in the country, would be a marked change from his previous insistence that the US transition away from fossil fuels.
- The Willow Project aims to drill for oil on three sites inside the 23-million acre National Petroleum Reserve, located 200 miles north of the Arctic Circle.
