The Bureau of Land Management announced today that it signed and issued leases on nine of the tracts that received qualifying bids from the first-ever oil and gas lease sale for the Coastal Plain of Alaska’s Arctic National Wildlife Refuge.
This means the BLM has now issued leases on 437,804 acres of some of the most highly prospective land on Alaska’s North Slope, with the U.S. Geological Survey estimating nearly 8 billion barrels of recoverable oil on the Coastal Plain.
Lease awardees include Alaska Industrial Development and Export Authority (AIDEA): 7 tracts; Knik Arm Services, LLC: 1 tract, and Regenerate Alaska, Inc.: 1 tract.
Full results from the Jan. 6 lease sale are available at https://www.blm.gov/programs/energy-and-minerals/oil-and-gas/leasing/regional-lease-sales/alaska.
“These leases reflect a solid commitment by both the state and industry to pursue responsible oil and gas development on the Alaska’s North Slope in light of recent assessments,” said BLM Alaska State Director Chad Padgett. “While any further actions on the ground will require additional environmental analysis, this is a hallmark step and a clear indication that Alaska remains important to meeting the nation’s energy needs.”
Operation warp speed..!!..Just think about what 4 more years could have brought us.!!
Over 400,000 Americans dead as of today, imagine what 4 more years would give us.
Kool-aid over dose ……….
What’s your boy going to do for us
NOTHING
Yes I could imagine 4 more great years
yes
Mountains of dead polar bear and caribou carcasses?
Keep lying Jay. Your kind slaughtered 100 million last century, and shot people in the back as they tried, in desperation, to climb over walls to exit the countries your kind controlled. You have a sickness my friend- and no vaccine can cure it.
Before covid was literally “invented”, 1 in 100 Americans died each year from all causes. That’s simply a fact of biological life; living organisms die. Now, I suppose you can “invent” all manner of frightening scenarios with which to manipulate those of us who haven’t died yet, but of the remaining 99 of every 100 Americans who survive each year, you are only likely to manipulate a percentage of us.
I am not one of them.
Who killed them, it wasn’t our president it was China
Yeah right…it’s Trump’s fault……LOL
Just another example of what was wing with #45 and his followers. Disregard for our environment.
Yes, it would have been great
Time to annul those leases. They were made under duress.
Trump oil ?
Good reply on our friend Jay. ha ha. interesting socialist. I think he needs some sugar cookies his blood sugar seems to be low. Ill bet he is hiding in his house under the bed from the evil corona.
If you look at the mortality numbers for 2020 you’ll see that we had 400,000 deaths more than we would have expected. 3.2 million dead Americans instead of the 2.8 million in 2019. We expected only 35,000 more. US life expectancy dropped from 78 down to 75 in 2020. We are still deep in the woods on this one and these numbers are going to get worse. Anyone with any decency will do all the basics to help stop its spread.
Recently Murkowski said she was “ASTOUNDED” that Biden signed to prevent drilling and exploration in ANWR. Really?!, Astounded!?
Where have you been Lisa!!!
Only way to make positive change in a Democratic administration is for Alaska to threaten secession. Then they will listen. Otherwise we are truly screwed!
Let us speak plainly, Biden and his (handlers) administration have screwed Alaskans. The middle class in Alaska highly depends on slope jobs and ANWR was the future answer. We all know that Biden is at least half invested in the Green New Deal, which is not advantageous for Alaska. Alaska is actually the worst state in the union to implement renewable energy..specifically solar power which is what we’re talking about really. I noticed a weakness in Biden’s inaugural speech in which he emphasized the “UNITED” States of America. I believe Biden is most concerned with state secession. I must confess that Alaska has never had A better moment to threaten secession than now. I believe perhaps threatening secession will be the only way ( under his administration) for keeping Alaska what it is. Otherwise we will be owned by China.
