Biden has suspended plans to extract oil in in Alaska

US President Joe Biden has suspended plans by former President Donald Trump to extract oil in the Arctic National Nature Reserve in Alaska. US President Joe Biden has suspended plans by former President Donald Trump to extract oil in the Arctic National Nature Reserve in Alaska. Biden requests that its impact on the environment be assessed before any mining can begin. Only then will it become clear whether it will not be necessary to cancel mining completely. Mining in Alaskan nature has not been allowed for several decades. The abolition of this ban was not enforced until 2017 by Republicans, who of course do not like the current suspension of the project by Biden. They believe that it can bring considerable funds into the US state treasury. The BBC reported on it. "If Biden eventually shuts down mining, it will damage the Alaskan economy and endanger the energy sector," Republican Sen. Lisa Murkow said in a statement. The Arctic National Nature Reserve has been protected by the state since 1960. Ecologists in this landscape highlight the vast lakes and mountains. It is home to many species of protected animals, including polar bears, reindeer and wolves. The local lakes are also a refuge for migratory birds. Donald Trump managed to push through oil production in Alaska just days before leaving the presidency. Even then, Biden strongly criticized the move and promised in his presidential campaign that he would ban mining again if elected. "According to the president, Alaska, which has not yet been mined by mining, is one of the most important treasures in the USA. According to him, he is grateful for the swift action of the Ministry of the Interior, which suspended Trump's previous plans. Possible mining could irreparably change the character of this important place," said Gina McCarthy, an adviser to US President, in a statement. Biden's move is now welcomed by the local indigenous tribes. "I want to thank President Biden and the US Department of the Interior. The path the president has taken is the right one, "said Tonya Garnett, the US chief executive who coordinates several projects for the Alaskan indigenous village of Venetia.
