Joe Biden has just approved the Willow Project in Alaska – the biggest oil drilling project in the US for decades. During his election campaign, Biden vowed to end oil and gas drilling, but his administration has now given the $8billion project the green-light. Climate activists are outraged, with over one-million letters being sent to the White House, 4.7-million petition signatures, and a trending #StopWillow TikTok hashtag. So, what is the Willow Project, when will drilling begin and should we be worried about the impact it will have on our climate?
In this episode, we speak to Ian Dooley, a lawyer from Earthjustice, the group trying to sue against the Willow project.
