The Willow Project: Is Biden approving another oil and gas project?

Last year, the Biden administration rolled out the most comprehensive climate bill in US history and launched the journey of climate action that was promised during the campaign. But it is now evaluating the approval of an oil and gas drilling opportunity in Alaska called the Willow Project. You may not have heard of the project because it seems to have flown under the radar, but people are talking about it on TikTok. In fact, my daughter is the person who told me about it. I wanted to find out more information on the project so I reached out to my good friend, Angelo, and he put me in touch with Jenny Rowland-Shea who has been working on this project at the Center for American Progress for a while now. Jenny tells us about the history and future plans of the project and how people in Alaska feel about it.
