Alaska senators slam Biden for suspending leases ‘in direct conflict with’ Trump’s Tax Cuts and Jobs Act;
Energy groups in Alaska and beyond blasted the Biden administration for suspending long-sought oil and gas leases.
- “More than anything, Alaska has a lot of potential new discoveries. There’s evidence we’re going to need these energy sources to meet global demand. … Anytime you create this uncertainty or delay, you potentially risk future investment,”
- Patrick Bergt of the Alaska Oil & Gas Association told Fox News in an interview. “Alaskans are always looking for what’s next, and that’s because we want to play a role in helping maintain the energy advantage America now enjoys.”
