Alaska is no stranger to oil production. But some Americans would prefer that wasn’t the case.
The Biden administration approved a new oil venture on March 13 called the Willow Project. More than 4.6 million people petitioned against its approval.
It allows the energy company ConocoPhillips to drill for oil in the National Petroleum Reserve on Alaska’s Northern slope. The company says it will produce 180,000 barrels of oil per day.

Biden cancelled a lot of drilling permits his first week in iffice, now I suppose he'll try to take credit for expanding our ability to drill for new reserves.

PV2 Larry Sellnow I don't think Biden left any, that was the primary reason Gas increased in price so high after the Pandemic and the country started moving again.

Why aren't oil companies drilling on their 9,000 land leases?
Biden complained about unused leases in his bid to spur supply and reduce gasoline prices. But labor and materials shortages hinder drilling.
