Quick Glance: Restrictions on Oil and Gas Leasing in Alaska under Biden Administration
  • The Biden administration announced restrictions on new oil and gas leasing on 5.3 million hectares of a federal petroleum reserve in Alaska to protect wildlife from the impacts of climate change.

  • The decision finalizes proposed protections that drew backlash from environmentalists last year for violating Biden's climate change pledge.

  • The limitation on new leasing faced opposition from Republican lawmakers who criticized the decisions as undermining national security interests.

  • Environmentalists praised the decision, while the oil industry labeled it as misguided and raised concerns about future developments in the reserve.
