Biden Blocks New Alaska Oil and Gas Leases to Save Polar Bears, Caribou, Blocks Key Mining Road

The Biden administration announced two major wins for the far-left environmentalists last Friday: it will block new oil and gas leasing on 13 million acres in Alaska’s federal petroleum reserve to protect local wildlife caribou and polar bears, and it will stop development on an access road for mining companies that was previously approved by the Trump administration.

Biden announced the government is blocking the development of the “Ambler Road,” a 211-mile access road that would have given mining companies the ability to access leased land for mineral development.

The far-left environmentalist group the Sierra Club called the decision a “major victory.”

This Biden decision bans oil and gas drilling in nearly half of the Alaska petroleum reserve. The reserve is 23 million acres of public land for a national emergency oil supply originally intended for the US Navy, created in the early 1920s.

  1. It’s been proven that pipe lines do not block wildlife from going where they want. They will go over or under, which ever is easier.

  2. Save a bear, Kill America.
    We need these leases opened up and start transporting oil and gas.
    We need the Keystone Pipe Line to be finished and opened up.
    We need to support the coil miners.
    We need to support nuclear energy.
    We need to be energy independent and not dependent.
    It should be mandated that if you purchase an Electric Vehicle ( this will go for all federal, state, local governments and private citizens ) That it MUST be recharged by use of solar or wind power only and not the use of fossil fuels, nuclear or hydro-electric. I even have a problem with hydro-electric. The building of dams alters / destroys the land in front of and behind the dams. And you are depended on rain, snow melt to maintain water levels.

    WE NEED BIDEN GONE !!!!
