US EditionTrump administration proposal would lift Biden-era limits on Alaska oil drilling
- The Trump administration sought to reverse Biden-era limitations on oil and gas exploration within Alaska's 23-million-acre National Petroleum Reserve to promote greater development in the region.
- This proposal responds to a 2024 rule finalized under Biden that banned leasing on about 13 million acres to protect wildlife habitats and Indigenous ways of life.
- At a town hall in Utqiagvik on June 1, Interior Secretary Doug Burgum revealed the shift in policy, highlighting the importance of responsible development to bolster American energy security and maintain local revenue sources.
- The reserve contains approximately 8.7 billion barrels of oil that can be extracted, and Burgum emphasized that the new approach aims to realign energy policies and secure the nation’s energy prospects.
- The proposal opens a public comment period and signals a possible rapid reversal of leasing bans, aiming to boost domestic production and reduce reliance on foreign fuels.
