The Biden administration is expected to approve a roughly $8 billion oil drilling project in Alaska, which is called Project Willow.

The Biden administration is weighing approval of a major oil project on Alaska's petroleum-rich North Slope that supporters say represents an economic lifeline for Indigenous communities in the region but environmentalists say is counter to Biden's climate goals.
The Willow Project was initially approved in 2020 by the Trump administration, but a federal judge threw out the permits for the oil project in August 2021, faulting the way the federal government had assessed its environmental impact.
It's drawn bipartisan support from the Alaska Congressional delegation, who met with Biden at the White House last week.
