“The fight to unleash American and Alaskan energy is far from over,” Sullivan added. “The fact that this Willow ROD comes with the announcement of future legally-dubious resource development restrictions on Alaska lands and waters is infuriating and demonstrates that the Biden Administration’s unprecedented lock-up of our state will continue.”

Democratic Reps. Raúl M. Grijalva of Arizona, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez of New York, Jared Huffman of California and Democratic Sen. Ed Markey of Massachusetts • “We are deeply disappointed in the Biden administration’s approval of the Willow oil and gas extraction project in Alaska’s Arctic,” said“This is the wrong decision for our climate future, for protecting biodiversity, and for honoring the frontline communities who have raised their voices against this project.”

. “The Willow project will benefit our local and state communities, and contribute significantly to our nation’s energy security, and here at Alyeska we are prepared and excited to support this important work and are thrilled to see the project moving forward.”Rebecca Logan, Alaska Support Industry Alliance CEO
