Biden administration approves $8B Alaskan oil and gas project
Friday, March 17, 2023
The Biden administration has approved an $8 billion oil and gas project in Alaska, according to Energy Live News.
ConocoPhillips’ Willow Project is expected to produce up to 180,000 barrels of oil per day.
However, the project’s approval has been met with criticism due to its anticipated impact on the environment. The U.S. Bureau of Land Management anticipates it will produce up to 278 metric tonnes of carbon emissions during its 30-year lifespan.
The Biden administration has reduced the project from five sites to three in an effort to address the project’s opponents’ concerns.

Will I get free natural gas if I allow fracking on my property?
Maybe. It depends on your particular lease agreement. Some companies allow property owners a yearly free gas allowance. But, the process of connecting your property to the gas source may be more complicated. Some companies will provide a hookup, others require the landowner to provide one.
