is expected to propose a limited plan for expanding oil drilling in Alaska in the coming days, relenting on its longtime opposition to domestic oil production.
The Bureau of Land Management is pushing for an environmental review that will effectively endorse the ConocoPhillips oil company's plan to open up to five new drilling sites in the state, The New York Times reported Wednesday. The plan is a scaled-back version of CP's Willow Project, which seeks to open up access to some 600 million barrels of crude oil.
