Green groups sue to block Willow oil project approved by Interior
EConocoPhillips’ Willow oil project in Alaska was approved by the Biden administration Monday, despite opposition from green non-governmental organizations and Democratic legislators who claimed it would worsen the climate change.
Plaintiffs want a federal judge to throw out the record of approval for the project and to look at alternatives that could reduce greenhouse gas emissions and other on-the-ground effects.
“This approval of an enormous new carbon source undermines President Biden’s promises to slash greenhouse-gas emissions in half by 2030 and transition the United States to clean energy. Trustees for Alaska has filed a separate legal challenge on behalf of Sovereign Inupiat for a Living Arctic and conservation groups,” Earthjustice, the leader of the groups, said that they were not surprised.
