According to an AP report, President Joe Biden intends to restrict oil drilling in Alaska’s Arctic Circle. The administration is anticipated to present a fresh proposal that would halt drilling permits in the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge and launch a fresh investigation into the environmental effects of potential oil exploration in the area. The action is a part of Biden’s initiatives to combat climate change and safeguard the nation’s natural resources.
Additionally, it overturns former president Donald Trump’s decision to allow oil drilling in the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge, which environmentalists and indigenous groups denounced. The oil and gas sector and some Alaskan lawmakers will likely oppose the decision.
