The Biden administration has announced restrictions on oil and gas leasing on over 13 million acres of an Alaskan petroleum reserve to conserve land valuable to the “Alaska Native people” and “important fish and wildlife,” as Republican lawmakers protest the “illegal” move.

Deb Haaland is reversing Trump’s fossil fuel policies — though they brought energy independence, lowered carbon emissions, and created jobs.
“We are looking to put as much as 75 million barrels into the reserves themselves,” Trump said. “That would top it out, that would be the first time in a long time that has been topped out.”
