Biden seeks to reverse Trump on Arctic drilling
The Biden administration is taking steps to reverse a Trump move opening up more of the Arctic for drilling.
In a statement, the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) said it will seek to reverse a Trump administration plan that would leave more than 82 percent of the National Petroleum Reserve in Alaska open for drilling.
Instead, it will seek to follow an Obama-era plan that leaves 52 percent of the area open for drilling.
The devil's in the details: But the BLM said that part of the Trump plan will remain, saying it intends to retain "certain more protective lease stipulations and operating procedures for threatened and endangered species" implemented by its predecessor.
