We discuss ConocoPhillips’ $8 billion oil and gas Willow Project in Alaska's pristine western Arctic region. The Biden administration recently approved the project.
On this edition of Your Call's One Planet Series, we discuss ConocoPhillips’ $8 billion oil and gas Willow Project in Alaska's fragile and pristine western Arctic region. Earlier this month, President Biden approved the oil drilling project, despite fierce opposition from environmental and Native Alaskan groups. The Willow project would lock in an estimated 9.2 million metric tons of carbon dioxide a year — equal to driving nearly two million gas-powered cars, or the annual output of 66 American coal plants — for 30 years.
