Alaska sues Biden administration over oil and gas leases in Arctic refuge

  • The State of Alaska has filed a lawsuit against the Biden administration over restrictions on oil and gas leases in the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge, claiming these limits violate a 2017 law requiring lease sales in the area.
  • The lawsuit argues that the restrictions make it 'impossible or impracticable to develop' the 400,000 acres planned for auction, severely limiting oil exploration and drilling opportunities.
  • Alaska seeks to overturn the December decision by the Interior Department, which has reduced potential revenue from energy development in the refuge, estimated at $1.1 billion by the Congressional Budget Office.
  • Governor Mike Dunleavy stated that the lawsuit is crucial for future funding, emphasizing the need to challenge what he calls unlawful actions by the federal government.
