Biden Administration Approves Controversial Willow Oil Project Despite Criticism from Climate Advocates

The Biden administration has approved the Willow oil project on Alaska's North Slope, which is expected to generate 9.2 million metric tons of carbon pollution a year. The project would allow three drill sites initially, with 219 total wells, and holds up to 600 million barrels of oil. The decision has angered climate advocates, who say it goes against President Biden's pledges to reduce emissions, and is likely to face a court challenge.
