Biden administration approves limited development of Alaska's Willow oil project

19. A sellout

Another major carbon bomb that will dwarf the minor benefits of the IRA, which will give us some consumer goods to help us feel virtuous while the oligarchs pump the mega-carbon and the giga-money. Ooh, shiny!

The IRA is so Byzantine in its qualifications that car-makers can't figure out if any qualify. Plus, don't forget the plans to "streamline" fossil project approvals. Nice euphemism.

Instead of bribing Alaskans with a few dribbles from the moneypot, why can't we give them direct social support like efficient homes, clinics, solar, and wind turbines instead of burning their world down? Oops, dumb question.

The Arctic Ocean stuff is meaningless. The fossil companies gave up on that years ago, they don't even want it. Plus a future prez can change it with a penstroke.
