Hey Pandas,what Do You Think Of Biden Accepting The Willow Project? Do You Think It Should Be Stopped?
The Willow project is a $8 billion plan to extract 600 million barrels of oil from federal land in Alaska. It would occur in the National Petroleum Reserve-Alaska, about 200 miles north of the Arctic Circle. The Biden administration acknowledges that Willow if completed, would release an additional 9.2 million metric tons of carbon pollution into the atmosphere each year—roughly equivalent to the pollution generated by two million gas-powered cars. it'll industrialize thousands of acres of habitat for animals like threatened polar bears and caribou into a polluted and noisy oil field.

All for it. I work in the oilfield, you’d be amazed at the lengths companies go to in Alaska to avoid pollution.
But do you realize how badly this can affect the animals and their habitats? The Willow project would completely destroy the animals' habitat and drive them away from villages, thus endangering a crucial food source for the locals. Air and water pollution exposure will continuously harm the native population, making their water undrinkable and poisoning their land. Did you ever think about that?
I think it's about freakin time Biden allows for the US to drill our own oil rather than buy it from countries that hate us.
