President Biden Approves Massive $8 Billion Alaska Oil Drilling Project

Big win for Murkowski

Wow - he did it.

Wonder how FOX will spin this....oh wait, they just won't cover.

$elllout

DON'T LINK TO GODDAMN FauxNews!!

[quote]President Biden signed off on the Willow Project, a 30-year oil drilling project

This will be unprofitable a decade from now, no way it'll last thirty years. People underestimate just how fast we'll transition to renewables.

Who cares, R6? It will get him votes in two years, that’s all that matters.

Anyone who cares about the environment cares.

The environment is doing fine, R8. You need to start caring more about the American economy.

The environment is NOT fine, idiot.

Then why would the Biden administration approve these drilling permits, R10?

How dare he??????

R12 This was a very smart move on Biden's part. He just removed a GOP talking point in the next election cycle.

The oil is going to come from somewhere. Peeps in the know would rather purchase from the US instead of Russia or SA.

In my next life, I plan to be born with the gift of doublespeak that has somehow been conferred on governmental agencies.

Why would anyone with a modicum of common sense vote for an addled 82 year old.

Capitalism, r11.

[quote][quote] said about transgender and transvestite people in the 1970s,

[quote]R171 There were no "transgender" people in the 1970s. And transvestites had the common sense to realize that they were men.

And don't get her started on those illegal immigrants.

I have no problem with this. And you can mislabel me in any way that want, I don't care.

We are doing way more than our share to curb the problem of global warming. Why should we take on the burden of solving MOST of the problem when we are NOT the cause of MOST of the issue?

What's Russia doing? What's China doing? What's England doing?

Germany and the U.S. are the only powers taking this shit seriously and if time is up to solve the problem, then time is up and it's just a matter of time before it becomes a free for all. We should not be caught flat footed when that happens. Nor should we be the only country on earth left with proven oil reserves when the time comes that everyone else is out. Because THAT will trigger a global realignment with the rest of the world arrayed against us.

We should peg our response to China's and let that be our final offer.

George Carlin had the right bit on this decades ago. The environment *is* fine. There is nothing that we can do as humans to hurt the fucking environment. We are hurting ourselves, but the environment (Mother Nature) will flick us aside like a speck of dust and carry on without missing a stride. It's very arrogant of us to believe that mankind can destroy this planet. We have been here for 0.00003% of the history of the earth. We couldn't destroy this planet or the environment if we tried.

I don’t know about all that, R21. I’m no green new dealer but even I recognize that we do must affect the climate. I just think we’re already doing plenty to help mitigate the damage.

[quote]The environment *is* fine.

We're making it *not* fine for us to survive on. That's the *whole* point.

What George Carlin said is we can't hurt the rock but we can and are destroying the life on it. We are experiencing the 6th mass extinction. Including us. We are not doing anything to mitigate any of this. The green new deal is a scam.

[quote]Who cares, [R6]? It will get him votes in two years, that’s all that matters.

And now Murkowski owes him a favor or two. A couple strategic votes from her could come in handy.

The humans that are the most responsible are going to suffer the least. And the rest of the sentient life on the planet didn't have any control over this at all.

That was meant for R21. ^

^Yeah, fuck the polar bears.

God I hate politicians.
