For all their grandstanding about environmentalism and saving the planet, the Democrats don't stick with their principles, it seems.
The "It's [D]ifferent" meme has well and truly become reality. Why else would Biden approve a project that will produce 600 million barrels of oil per year and in all likelihood utterly devastate Alaska?
Or maybe they realize on some level that it's not possible to run industrialized society off just electricity with the tech we have, so we need to drill more oil.
Last I checked, most of Alaska is natural parks and protected land. If this project gets fucked up (and there's a high chance it will under the Biden regime), then it will likely have far-reaching effects.
Also, that isn't as much the case anymore. Alaska's oil production peaked in 1973 and it's dropped 60% since then.
Although I'm sure that there's more reserves in protected land.
I don't really care about this from an environmentalist perspective, but the Dems and Biden are displaying a lot of hypocrisy with this move.

how would it devastate Alaska? I thought Alaska was one of our oil cows, along with Texas.
