  1. Alaska's $10B Willow oil project: ConocoPhillips gets $10.3B, feds get $6B, and Alaska taxpayers... actually PAY for it through tax credits that exceed state revenue.
    Who designed this deal? 🤔

  8. Remember when your climate president approved the ConocoPhillips Willow drilling project in Alaska? Drilling has begun in places, but some activists managed to bring the decision back into court.

    "The government’s attorney, Amy Collier, said experts at the agencies did consider that an increase in greenhouse gas emissions would cause the Arctic to lose sea ice, which the region’s polar bears depend on. But, she said, the link wasn’t direct. They didn’t have evidence that the specific emissions resulting from the Willow project would shrink sea ice in this part of the Arctic, hurting this particular population of polar bears."

    That is some insulting sophistry. #BullShit #ClimateChange #Climate #ClimateCrisis #FossilFuels #Oil #WillowProject #USpol #KeepItInTheGround

  12. "While the plans are exceedingly modest for now, the Climate Corps could be a means for Biden to make his environmental agenda resonate with younger voters still smarting from the administration’s approval of the #WillowProject.

    With #homeownership and major asset purchases still solidly out of reach for many younger voters, the #AmericanClimateCorps #jobs might offer tangible benefits to those left out of the IRA."

  17. "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."

  22. I don't like Biden's approval of the #WIllowProject drilling in the Arctic. But that's not Biden's whole story.

    It seems a lot of people are into Biden-bashing for his perceived lack of climate action.

    But It turns out two thirds of Americans are not aware of the climate law called the #InflationReductionAct.

    Maybe the same holes for the CHIPS act and the #BuildBackBetter act?

  29. Three reasons why #Biden had to approve the #WillowProject:

    "One reason ... involves legality: ConocoPhillips holds the leases and has a legal right to #drill. Canceling its leases would bring a court case that, if lost, would set a precedent, cost the government millions of dollars in fees and do nothing to stop oil drilling.

    Instead, the government made a deal with ConocoPhillips that shrank the total surface area to be developed at Willow by 60%."

    @stormy178
    You're not wrong. That is the reason why they are installing people in powerful positions that will uphold their values. It's because they recognize this reality. I'm not saying a time frame, but it's inevitable.

    Now my questions to you would be: If the GOP knows this, don't you think the DNC does too? So why aren't the elites doing more to codify human rights? Why does Katie Porter call out big oil & Biden tries to avoid discussing his approval of the #WillowProject?

  37. Recently, the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) approved the #WillowProject, a major oil drilling project in Alaska. The #BidenAdministration claimed it had no other choice but to approve it, but is that really the case?
