Biden Shields Millions of Acres of Alaskan Wilderness From Drilling and Mining

The administration has blocked a proposed industrial road needed to mine copper in the middle of the state, and has banned oil drilling on 13 million acres in the North Slope.

I worked in the Brooks Range for 4 years. The mining companies and many in Alaska state government have been pushing for this road for decades. If Trump gets back in this will probably get built. It would be an environmental disaster and rip through the heart of some of the wildest land left in the country.
