The Bureau of Land Management today released its Record of Decision for the Willow Project in the NPR-A, which is slated to be among the hottest energy prospects in the world. The Willow Project alone will be massive and bring to our state hundreds of good-paying jobs for hard-working Alaskans, more than one hundred thousand barrels a day in TAPS throughput, and billions of dollars in economic activity—without negatively impacting the environment Alaskans cherish. We as a delegation have fought hard with the administration against those in the Lower 48 who want to shut Alaska’s economy down, and I have every intention of protecting what we’ve earned. I thank the Department of Interior for their work on this important project.
I recently had the opportunity to virtually interact with the 20 communities and thousands of Alaskans in the Coastal Villages Region Fund area. I appreciate hearing directly from the people and working together on the challenges that we face as Alaskans. Thank you to Chairman Richard Jung, Executive Director Eric Deakin, and all of the people of western Alaska. You can listen to our discussion here:
