Biden Admin To Reduce Oil Leasing in Alaska
The Biden administration announced Monday it will ban oil and gas leasing on 11 million acres of Alaska's North Slope, reversing a Trump-era expansion of the country's petroleum reserve.Although the Biden administration claims the regulations will help protect "threatened and endangered species," Alaska governor Mike Dunleavy (R.) slammed the order, saying it will diminish U.S. oil production amid a record spike in energy prices.
"This is another sign of the federal government turning its back on Alaska and hampering domestic energy production," Dunleavy told the Wall Street Journal. "The U.S. Department of Interior is putting the nation in a situation where we have to rely on foreign oil … at a time for growing prices and concern for American consumers."
