Yes…this is definitely going to upset AOC and the progressive Left.
I haven’t really followed this story…Why is Biden opening up this area for drilling now? I assume it is to help stabilize world oil prices during the Ukraine/Russia war?
too funny
you obviously do not have a clue about oil exploration. oil demand or oil pricing
it is a decades long project
the timeline from drilling to initial production in Alaska is likely 18 months - its a difficult environment to work in
much longer if pipeline infrastructure is required
more likely 5 years to get to its projected peak of 180,000 bbls per day
meanwhile the world consumes 90 to 100 million bbls / per day
this oil field alone will not move oil prices
i bet you thought it is just a matter of drilling a hole and then opening a valve
if sleepy joes did this to 'help stabilize world oil prices' he is a clueless as you
no, he spent a lot of political capital to approve this as his advisors have finally figured out the energy crisis they created will become much worse
the loonie left in his party will go ape sit over this and... then they will fly somewhere to tell the unwashed masses to reduce their 'carbon footprint'
