Alaska GOP Sen. Dan Sullivan said Monday that Alaskan natives feel President Biden's administration, as well as environmental groups looking to stifle an Alaskan arctic oil project, are bringing the “second wave of colonialism” to the Last Frontier.
Sen. Dan Sullivan
Sullivan's comments from the S&P Global's 2023 CERAWeek energy conference in Houston came as he urged President Biden's administration to approve the, an Alaskan arctic oil project that would – amid pushback from environmental groups – provide the U.S. with domestic access to millions of barrels of oil.
"The highest environmental standards in the world… the lowest greenhouse gas emissions of any major project," Sullivan added of efforts favored by the Biden administration."Negligible emissions is what they say in the EIS, and they also do what is called a market analysis substitution. So if you don't do Willow, we're gonna get energy from places like Venezuela, Saudi Arabia, the emissions are much higher. Not doing Willow pumps more CO2 into the atmosphere.
