Show Notes
Alaskas National Petroleum Reserve holds its first oil and gas lease sale in years, attracting hundreds of bids from major companies despite pending lawsuits from environmentalists and Indigenous groups. The reserve, located on the North Slope, is home to the Willow oil project, now underway by ConocoPhillips. State leaders and oil groups celebrate the sale as a sign of renewed investor interest, while environmental organizations express concern over potential impacts on wildlife and climate goals. A federal judges ruling pauses the cancellation of a protective right-of-way, potentially affecting some leased areas.
