Conoco's Willow project hasn't risen to ANWR-level controversy. Opponents say it's harder to fight oil drilling in a National Petroleum Reserve.
Anti-Willow protestors gathered in Lafayette Square, in front of the White House, on Jan. 10, 2023.
“Let me just get out a few signs really quick, so folks know we’re here,” said Monica Scherer of the Alaska Wilderness League, as the protest began to coalesce. “Hi, everyone. Thank you. Thank you for coming …We’re so happy you’re here to help stop the Willow project. “ The Indiana-sized tract of federal land was set aside 100 years ago, for the Navy, as the Naval Petroleum Reserve. But now modern environmental laws apply.
The Alaska Wilderness League says opponents sent President Biden 120,000 comments objecting to the Willow project. That’s not nothing. But proposals to open ANWR to drilling could draw more than a million comments. One elected official who doesn’t want the Willow project approved Rosemary Ahtuangaruak, mayor of Nuiqsut, the nearest community.
