Breaking news: The Biden administration has approved the massive Willow drilling project in Alaska, angering climate advocates and setting the stage for a court challenge. This story will be updated. Original story: The Biden administration is expected to approve the controversial ConocoPhillips Willow oil drilling project in Alaska on Monday after it moved through the administration’s process for months.
Environmental law group Earthjustice has been preparing a case against the project and intends to argue the Biden administration’s authority to protect resources on Alaska’s public lands includes taking steps to reduce planet-warming carbon pollution, which the Willow Project would ultimately add to. The venture is expected to be approved with three drilling pads instead of two, two government sources familiar with the details confirmed.
