A project developer in Alaska, the northernmost state in the United States, wanted to drill for gas and oil in various locations within a large nature reserve. Now the current US President, Joe Biden, is putting an end to that.
He points out the dangers to the vulnerable nature of the region. It was also said that errors had been made, and as a result permits had been issued incorrectly at the time.
Environmental groups are happy, but there is also criticism. One Republican senator disagrees with the decision, because it will lead to the loss of jobs and local government revenue.
