Biden Administration Continues to Shut Down Alaska’s Domestic Energy Production with “No Action” Decision
The current administration has shown a pattern of routinely attempting to shut down domestic energy production in Alaska and other parts of the United States.
This disregards the concerns and input of the local Alaska Native people who rely on the NPR-A for employment and much needed funding for infrastructure projects and community needs through the Impact Mitigation Grant Fund, which is funded exclusively through royalties and revenues generated from oil & gas development in the NPR-A. The groups affected by this decision, Arctic Slope Regional Corporation (ASRC), the Iñupiat Community of the Arctic Slope (ICAS), and the North Slope Borough (Borough), all report concerns the decision by the Biden administration – which claims that its top public policy goal is to advance racial equity and support underserved communities, yet contradicts these values with this decision.
