'President Joe Biden betrays our generation by greenlighting the Willow Project.' | Opinion by Greta Thunberg, Sophia Kianni and Vanessa Nakate
President Joe Biden’s recent approval of the Willow Project in Alaska has alarmed many young people and once again made us question his seriousness about addressing the climate crisis before it is too late. His decision to greenlight ConocoPhillips’ massive oil project isn’t just a betrayal of his promises on the campaign trail when he vowed to halt drilling on federal lands and to help the United States make the transition toward clean energy.
6 million messages calling on Biden to reject the plan. But the voices of millions who spurred into action were left gutted on March 13 when Willow was approved. Greenlighting the project also highlights the glaring disconnect between the administration’s climate rhetoric and actions.
