Friend -- did you see that President Biden blocked Trump's plan to drill in the pristine and irreplaceable Arctic National Wildlife Refuge?
This is a crucial step in protecting the Arctic Refuge. But now, it is up to Congress to permanently protect "America's Serengeti" and preserve this million-year-old ecosystem for future generations.
The Trump Administration's efforts to shortcut environmental laws fell apart when exposed to the facts -- federal scientists say Arctic Refuge drilling cannot be done safely, and oil companies don't even want to drill there.
For two decades, I have proudly led Senate efforts to protect the Arctic Refuge. Now, with Democratic control of both Congress and the White House, we can't miss this moment to act.
We have the unprecedented opportunity to roll back the drilling authorization that Republicans jammed through on their 2017 tax bill and restore Arctic Refuge protections.
