Anticipated Impact

This order rescinds all Biden regulations and policies limiting the production, transportation, and sale of oil and natural gas in Alaska and reinstates related policies from Trump's first term. It also aims to increase logging, mining, hunting, and fishing, including on federal land, while denying the creation of an indigenous sacred site in the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge. The order does not mention the harmful environmental effects that increased drilling, road construction, and destruction of nature will cause to plants, animals, and the communities that rely on them across Alaska.
