"On Monday, March 13th, 2023, the Biden Administration approved the controversial Willow Project, the largest fossil fuel project the United States has reckoned with in decades. An $8 billion initiative of ConocoPhillips, Alaska’s largest crude oil producer, the project will nearly double existing oil production in the state."
"Long story short, over 30 years, Willow will release 260 million metric tons of carbon emissions into the atmosphere. That’s not good, especially given a United Nations climate report saying global carbon emissions rose in 2022. Also, Alaska Natives are sharply divided on this project. The blog explores the long history of extractive capitalism in Alaska, and how that has essentially put impoverished Indigenous people at the end of the barrel of a gun when it comes to fossil fuel projects like Willow."
The Lakota Law Project has another petition going around against a massive oil drilling project in Alaska. First link is the petition, second is their blog post about it with more information. Signing the petition is super easy. Just add your name and email.

If you have a spare second, please sign this petition by Audubon to protect the Teshekpuk Lake Special Area. This area is both significant to Indigenous people and important to wildlife, including Yellow-billed Loons, polar bears, and caribou. There is a proposed ConocoPhillips oil development that would destroy large portions of this much needed preservation.

"California's move is an unmistakable sign that the wave of climate lawsuits against Big Oil will keep growing and that these polluters' days of escaping accountability for their lies are numbered."
The state of California on Friday filed suit against ExxonMobil, Shell, BP, ConocoPhillips, and Chevron, accusing the five oil and gas giants of a decadeslong campaign to mislead the public about the threat fossil fuels pose to the climate.
The lawsuit makes California the largest economy on the planet to take legal action against fossil fuel companies over their efforts to deceive the world about their destructive—and immensely profitable—business model. California is also a major producer of oil and gas.
"This has been a multi-decade, ongoing campaign to seek endless profits at the expense of our planet, our people, and the greedy corporations and individuals need to be held accountable," California Attorney General Rob Bonta toldThe New York Times in an interview on Friday. "That's where we come in."
With its new civil lawsuit, filed in a San Francisco court, California joins Rhode Island, Minnesota, Connecticut, Massachusetts, Vermont, and other states that have sued the fossil fuel industry over its role in massive climate damages. Dozens of municipalities, including several in California, have also filed lawsuits against oil giants.

Shell profits up $6 billion from 2021
Exxon profits up $12 billion from 1st qtr to 2nd qtr of 2022
Chevron profits up $5 billion from 2021
Conoco profits up $4.8 billion from 2021
As gas prices skyrocketed across the county, so did profits for the major oil companies (as did some CEO salaries already in the millions). Note that most of this data comes the companies' own website/communications.
It's hard to reconcile all the explanations/excuses for these high profits as the average American struggles paying exorbitant per gallon gas prices. Further baffling to me is how large segments of the population continue to vote against their own economical best interests.

SIGN OR CALL TO BE HEARD! STOP THE WILLOW PROJECT NOW!
"The Willow Project is a proposed pipeline in Northern Alaska that has been proposed by ConocoPhillips, a company that has been surrounded by controversy for continued oil drilling, exploitation of nature, and posing risks to indigenous communities globally. This project was proposed during the Trump administration, but has yet to be approved by the Biden administration. Despite Biden promising to turn away from non-renewable energy sources such as oil, he is still defending this project.
If this pipeline were to be approved, 100,000 barrels of oil would be produced for the next 30 years. The first oil to be used from this pipeline would be as early as 2024. We do not have much time, but it's still enough to defend our earth and the Iñupiat that live there."
Please sign the petition to say NO to the Willow Project!!
https://www.change.org/.../joseph-r-biden-biden...
and/or call the White House and use your voice to be heard!!!
The number to the comment line (stay on until you speak with a representative) is 202-456-1111
(If you struggle like me and don't know what to say, here is a copy of what you can say to get your point across.)
"I want to say and express that the Willow Project would cause devastating damage to our environment. And I feel very strongly because it would really affect the indigenous and America's Arctic. It would push us to the point of no return and ensure an unlivable planet for future generations. The Willow Project, it directly contradicts what President Biden promised and committed to, to begin resolving the climate catastrophe. I feel that the entire human race deserves a smarter, sustainable energy plan. So, I very strongly urge the President to listen to the deep concerns about the Willow Project that have been voiced by local indigenous leaders, scientists, and even his own administration. And so please tell President Biden and the Department of the Interior to say no to project Willow immediately."
CALL AND SIGN IMMEDIATELY! THIS IS SO IMPORTANT BECAUSE IT WILL DIRECTLY AFFECT INDIGENOUS AND AMERICA'S ARTICS. IT WILL ALSO CAUSE UNLIVABLE CONDITIONS FOR THE FUTURE GENERATIONS. PLEASE URGE YOUR FRIENDS, FAMILIES, AND FOLLOWERS TO DO THE SAME!!!

President Joe Biden campaigned on a “turnaround policy” from Trump’s dismantling of long-standing environmental policies, as well as his approval of oil and gas pipelines and oil well drilling in pristine wilderness areas. Biden promised not to approve drilling projects on federal lands. Bu that promise went out the window in the face of Wall Street pressure, specifically the energy giant ConocoPhillips, Alaska’s largest oil producer, with its “Willow Project.”

if you cared about climate change for one second in your life, take a few minutes of your time and read this article about the willow project, then sign the petition.
and even if you don't care about animals and the future generations *cough* ignorant *cough* everybody should educate themselves because it happens now.

Excerpt from this story from Grist:
For more than four years, ConocoPhillips has been working with the federal government to expand oil and gas development in the National Petroleum Reserve, a roughly 23-million-acre stretch of government-managed land on Alaska’s North Slope. If approved, the so-called Willow Project would allow for construction of up to 250 wells, two airstrips, as well as a network of gravel roads, pipelines, and a new central processing facility in a remote, ecologically sensitive corner of the Arctic.
Willow’s road to approval has been rocky. Last year a federal court ordered the Department of the Interior to redo the project’s legally-required environmental impact statement, or EIS, a new draft of which was released early last month. Now, Congressional Democrats and the Native Village of Nuiqsut, a town of just over 500 people that is closest to the development, are asking the Biden administration for more time to weigh in on the new document.
So far they’ve been met with silence. The Department of the Interior has not responded to formal requests to extend the public comment period on the draft EIS. Two letters obtained by Grist, one from the House Committee on Natural Resources and one from Nuiqsut, described the 45-day comment period — the minimum required by law — as inadequate for a project of this scope. The House committee also requested a response from the Interior Department by July 22 but still has not received an answer.
The Interior Department did not respond to Grist’s formal requests for comment, but an employee who was not authorized to speak on the record told Grist that the requests to extend the comment period are “on everybody’s radar, but no decision has been made.”
The project has been described by the Center for American Progress as a “disaster” for the climate that would lock in approximately 260 million metric tons of carbon dioxide emissions over its 30-year lifetime, undermining the Biden administration’s efforts to combat global warming. Willow would also push development closer to a special conservation area around Teshekpuk Lake, the largest body of water in Arctic Alaska and important calving grounds for the Teshekpuk lake caribou herd.

ANCHORAGE, AK — The Biden administration today announced its approval of ConocoPhillips’s Willow project, ignoring pleas from millions who called for the Alaska oil-drilling plan to be halted due to concerns about climate change. The Interior Department released a record of decision (ROD) that largely reflects ConocoPhillips’s desired project blueprint and ignores its dire climate and biodiversity impacts. Approval of the Willow project stands in stark contrast to President Biden’s climate goals and commitment to the Paris agreement.
Interior’s decision approves three drilling pads, which combined will produce 92% of the oil ConocoPhillips initially sought to develop, a staggering climate impact amounting to more than 260 million metric tons of greenhouse gases (GHG). The GHG emissions from Willow will equal that of 56 million cars driven for one year, or nearly 70 coal fired power plants operating for one year. This project is also intended to be a stepping-stone for future development.
