WASHINGTON (AP) — The Biden administration said Monday it is approving the controversial major Willow oil project on Alaska's petroleum-rich North Slope, one of President Joe Biden’s most consequential climate choices that is likely to draw condemnation from environmentalists who say it flies in the face of the Democratic president’s pledges.
:alaskkka: thank god for Biden and his principled commitment to block oil development in the arctic
The Willow project could produce up to 180,000 barrels of oil a day, create up to 2,500 jobs during construction and 300 long-term jobs, and generate billions of dollars in royalties and tax revenues for the federal, state and local governments, the company said.
300 jobs and billions in tax revenue?! What a noble and generous company :blob-no-thoughts:

You know what else makes 300 jobs? A community College. A rural clinic. A solar panel factory.
300 long term jobs that will bring more evangelicals up here too, for all the people (not on this site) saying that this will make Alaska less red lol
