A federal court has ordered the Biden administration to re-do environmental reviews necessary for permits for a controversial Alaskan oil project
A federal court on Wednesday ordered the Biden administration to re-do environmental reviews necessary for permits for a controversial Alaskan oil project, throwing the decision to approve the project back to the agencies.: The ruling out of the United States District Court for the District of Alaska voided several environmental reviews of the ConocoPhillips Willow project approved under the Trump administration, calling the analysis behind them “legally flawed.
Environmental groups and Alaskan tribes that had been fighting the project hailed the court decision. "The Biden Administration needs to keep its commitment to the Alaskan people by continuing to defend the Willow project in court for the sake of American energy,” Sullivan said via a statement through his office.
