Rep. Raul Grijalva, the top Democrat on the Natural Resources Committee, slammed the Biden administration for moving ahead with a oil drilling proposal in the Alaskan wilderness.
Former RNC Chair Reince Priebus and Fox News Contributor Joe Concha discuss the Biden administration's energy policy on 'Hannity.'
"Today’s decision sends the dangerous message that the fight against climate change, Alaska Natives’ and local residents’ lives, and wildlife are not good enough reasons to keep Big Oil from getting their way," he continued."This is the exact opposite of what the Biden administration stands for and the opposite of what Alaskans and this country need."
The announcement comes about five years after the Willow Project's permitting process began in 2018. The Trump administration ultimately approved the project, but a federal judge in Alaska overturned the decision, saying it hadn't properly assessed the environmental harms, including greenhouse gas emissions, that would result from the project.
"ConocoPhillips looks forward to a final record of decision and is ready to begin construction immediately after receiving a viable ROD and full authorization from all permitting agencies," he added.
