John — There’s been a major new development in the effort to protect the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge (ANWR) from fossil fuel drilling:

The Alaska Industrial Development and Export Authority (AIDEA) was one of the highest bidders for land in the Arctic Refuge that Donald Trump auctioned off for drilling. Now, the AIDEA is testing President Biden’s temporary suspension of ANWR drilling by preparing to market its leases to industry.

These steps underscore the temporary and precarious nature of President Biden’s executive order suspending drilling in the Refuge. If the AIDEA proceeds with trying to start drilling in ANWR, the order could be challenged in court and overturned. That’s exactly why SEEC member Rep. Jared Huffman has written a bill to provide permanent protection to ANWR.

His Arctic Refuge Protection Act restores protections to the Arctic Refuge Coastal Plain indisputably. Will you pitch in to support SEEC members pushing for the protection of the Arctic Refuge? [[link removed] ]

Drilling in the Arctic Refuge would be disruptive, destructive, and devastating for local communities and the global effort to combat climate change. Oil spills and accidents would be a near-constant threat, and drilling activity would destroy habitats, disrupt migration patterns, and endanger wildlife, including caribou herds and polar bears. And to address the climate crisis, we need to protect more wild lands that can serve as carbon sinks — not strip protections to drill more oil.

That’s why SEEC members have been advocating for ANWR every step of the way — and won a temporary victory when President Joe Biden issued an executive order pausing fossil fuel drilling. But now other interests like the AIDEA are pushing back in support of drilling, and we need a surge of grassroots support to protect the Arctic Refuge for good.
