  1. 🌍 L’Arctic National Wildlife Refuge in Alaska è uno degli ultimi ecosistemi incontaminati del pianeta. L’apertura alle trivellazioni di petrolio e gas minaccia habitat unici, specie come caribù e orsi polari, e accelera la crisi climatica.

    Proteggere l’Artico significa difendere il futuro del pianeta. ❄️💔

  2. Trump Opens Pristine #Alaska Wilderness to #Drilling in Long-Running Feud
    The decision was the latest twist in a long-running fight over the fate of the refuge’s coastal plain, an unspoiled expanse of 1.56 million acres that is believed to sit atop billions of barrels of oil but is also a critical habitat for polar bears, caribou, migratory birds and other wildlife.

  3. He's really looking everywhere for those Epstein files.

    Somewhere Teddy Roosevelt – who created the National Wildlife Refuge System, laying the groundwork for conservation efforts like ANWR – is spinning in his grave.

  6. "It marked the second time in four years an auction of oil and gas leases in the refuge’s 1.6-million-acre coastal plain flopped, coming after a 2021 sale held under Trump drew just 11 high bids, [all of which were ultimately forfeited]."

  7. Zero bids on Arctic refuge drilling rights.

    "The industry’s no-show this week underscores the legal, social and economic challenges of drilling in the Coastal Plain, despite US Geological Survey estimates the region might hold between 4.3 billion and 11.8 billion barrels of technically recoverable crude.

    The auction came with restrictions on surface occupancy and seismic exploration that could deter interest."

  8. This Alaskan is truly grateful for President Carter's love and protection of the Great Land! #Alaska #ThankYouJimmy #ANILCA #ANWR
    "Jimmy Carter, who died Sunday at age 100, was the only U.S. president to hang a map of Alaska on the wall of the Oval Office. Judging by what he wrote about his later trips north — often just to fish, hike and birdwatch in the wilderness — it can probably be said that he was not only the president with the biggest impact on Alaska but also the one with the deepest love for the state.

    The law that Carter called his greatest domestic achievement, and the source of so much controversy here, was the Alaska National Interest Lands Conservation Act, or ANILCA, which Carter signed into law on Dec. 2, 1980, as one of the last acts of his presidency."

  9. "You have incredible people in the Gwich'in, who have an incredible relationship that has lasted for as long as they can recall … with these incredible #caribou that have the longest land migration in the world across incredibly harsh terrain," cbc.ca/news/canada/north/trump

  10. #Bagram is an airbase in #Afghanistan, has little to do with the #energy industry and the US state of #Alaska is about 5,602 miles (9,015 km) from Afghanistan.

    If he meant the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge (#ANWR), he’s also wrong since it is estimated to have less than 12 billion barrels of oil while Saudi Arabia has proven reserves of 267 billion barrels.

    He should be nowhere near any decisions made about #military or energy; he apparently doesn’t have the ability to know what they are.

  11. What's more amazing than 50,000 caribou migrating through your campsite? The rich, subtle ecosystem of the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge. Far from a frozen wasteland, ANWR teems with life, from massive grizzly bears to delicate butterflies to a kaleidoscopic array of plants.

    Come along on my nature photography adventure and decide for yourself whether this magnificent biome is worth destroying for less than a year's supply of oil.

  15. From BBC.com: Biden cancels Trump drilling leases in Alaska's largest wildlife refuge

  16. "The Biden Administration is ending drilling leases in ANWR, at least for now...The leases were originally issued by the Trump administration.

    "Alaska oil drilling projects have been top of mind for both the administration and voters this year. The latest announcement comes several months after Biden approved the Willow Project, the biggest new oil development in Alaska in decades, resulting in blowback to the administration."

  17. Excellent news!
    "A federal judge has upheld decisions by President Joe Biden and the Department of the Interior that temporarily suspended work needed to open the coastal plain of the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge to oil and gas drilling.

    In a 74-page order published Monday afternoon, U.S. District Court Judge Sharon Gleason ruled in favor of the federal government and against the state of Alaska, its state-owned development bank and several other plaintiffs.

    The Alaska Industrial Development and Export Authority, the development bank, is the sole remaining organization with oil and gas leases in the refuge, purchased during a 2021 sale mandated by Congress.

    Monday’s decision means AIDEA cannot proceed with pre-development surveys and other work on its leases. It must await the results of a new environmental assessment expected later this year."

  18. @AgentCarter_SSR
    This Arctic Refuge is one of the last untouched [by man] places on earth and deserves to remain pristine. We don't even need to be in there.

    Thank you, President Biden. On behalf the planet and future generations. #ANWR

  19. Trump just can't resist damaging every inch of the U.S., can he?

    Please vote to disinfect America on November 3rd. Trump wants to give all of our parks, refuges, and forests to his 'friends' and let them siphon off money, then leave the general public with no place to go and enjoy the outdoors.

    Remember to vote for Biden/Harris in November or there will be nothing left to save. #ANWR
