Biden Administration to Announce Sweeping New Protections for Federal Lands and Waters in Alaska on Monday

President Joe Biden is set to announce sweeping new protections for federal lands and waters in Alaska on Monday, including a ban on future oil and gas leasing in the US Arctic Ocean and new rules to protect over 13 million acres in the National Petroleum Reserve. The announcement is expected to be met with both praise and criticism, as it is a major step forward in the Biden administration's efforts to combat climate change and promote clean energy sources.
