   Several top Democratic lawmakers, including Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez,   
   D-N.Y., heavily criticized President Joe Biden on Monday after his   
   administration approved a massive oil drilling project in Alaska.   
      
   The Democrats argued that the decision moving forward with the Willow   
   Project — an oil drilling project forecasted to produce up to 614 million   
   barrels of crude oil over its 30-year lifespan — contradicts Biden's   
   broader climate agenda. They also indicated that the only acceptable   
   outcome would have been for the president to completely reject the   
   project.   
      
   "The Biden administration has committed to fighting climate change and   
   advancing environmental justice—today’s decision to approve the Willow   
   project fails to live up to those promises," Ocasio-Cortez said in a joint   
   statement with Reps. Raul Grijalva, D-Ariz., Jared Huffman, D-Calif., and   
   Sen. Ed Markey, D-Mass. "Their decision ignores ... the irrefutable   
   science that says we must stop building projects like this to slow the   
   ever more devastating impacts of climate change."   
      
   "This administration clearly knows what the path to a cleaner and more   
   just future looks like — we wish they hadn’t chosen to stray so far from   
   that path with today’s Willow decision," they continued. "The only   
   acceptable Willow project is no Willow project."   
      
   MASSIVE OIL PROJECT SPARKED CIVIL WAR WITHIN BIDEN ADMINISTRATION,   
   LAWMAKERS SAY   
      
   On Sunday evening, ahead of the expected decision on Willow, the   
   administration announced it would block off roughly 16 million acres of   
   land and water in Alaska near where the project will be located from being   
   developed for future oil and gas leasing. Ocasio-Cortez and the other   
   Democrats added in their statement that "split decisions in the face of   
   the climate crisis are not good enough."   
      
   Overall, the federal analysis of the environmental impact of Willow   
   estimated that it would produce as much as 278 million tons of greenhouse   
   gas emissions, the equivalent of the carbon footprint of 2 million cars.   
   And environmental groups have blasted the project for years as a "carbon   
   bomb."

   "It’s disappointing to see Secretary [Deb] Haaland and President [Joe]   
   Biden approve the ‘Willow Project’ for ConocoPhillips," Sen. Martin   
   Heinrich, D-N.M., tweeted Monday. "The Western Arctic is one of the last   
   great wild landscapes on the planet and as public land it belongs to every   
   American. Industrial development in this unspoiled landscape will not age   
   well."   
      
   "This is a step backwards," Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse, D-R.I., added in a   
   separate tweet. "The best way to lower energy prices is to shift to   
   renewables — cheaper in the long run and not subject to Big Oil’s price   
   gouging whims."   
      
   Rep. Rashida Tlaib, D-Mich., noted Monday that, during the presidential   
   campaign and shortly after taking office, Biden pledged to end all new   
   drilling on federal lands. Willow represents the largest drilling project   
   on federal lands currently proposed.   
      
   "This disastrous decision to approve the Willow Project in Alaska, one of   
   the largest oil development projects in decades, will have devastating   
   consequences on our planet, frontline communities, and wildlife," Tlaib   
   said.   
      
   And Sen. Jeff Merkley, D-Ore., blasted the decision, saying it was "wrong   
   on every level."   
      
   "It destroys our climate goals and undermines international climate   
   ambition," the Oregon lawmaker tweeted. "We can’t ask other nations to   
   curb dirty energy production if we’re greenlighting fossil projects."   
      
   Like the Democrats, several leading environmental groups criticized Biden   
   over the decision to approve Willow.   
      
   As of Friday, two Change.org petitions urging Biden to "say no" to the   
   Willow Project had received more than 4 million signatures. And the   
   hashtag #StopWillow went viral on social media, garnering more than 650   
   million impressions across platforms.
