The Trump administration has approved oil and gas drilling in the pristine Arctic National Wildlife Refuge which has been off-limits to drilling for decades
WASHINGTON - The Trump administration on Monday finalized a plan to allow oil and gas drilling in Alaska’s Arctic National Wildlife Refuge, putting it on track to issue decades-long leases in the pristine wilderness area before a potential change in U.S. leadership.
A Republican-passed tax bill in 2017 opened the area to oil and gas leasing, a key pillar of U.S. President Donald Trump’s agenda to expand fossil fuel production. However, lease sales in the state have been weak for most of the last decade, and statewide production has dropped steadily for the past 30 years.
The Gwich’in Steering Committee, which represents tribes that depend on the caribou for subsistence, tweeted that “the fight to protect the calving grounds of the porcupine caribou is not over.”
