Willow's Impact Explained

- If you care about climate change, then you need to care about Willow and speak out against it. Follow this link (alaskawild.org/stopwillow) and tell the Biden administration to STOP the Willow project.
Willow is the largest big oil development proposed on public lands, projected to emit 250 million metric tons of CO2 over the next 30 years. That’s the equivalent of 66 coal-fired power plants. Willow is so bad that this single project will erase all of Biden's progress on renewable energy on public lands and make Biden's ambitious climate and public lands protection goals difficult to achieve.
It’s also just the start for this region of the western Arctic. Oil giant ConocoPhillips has stated that it hopes it is the first of many developments in the area. Willow would anchor our nation to Alaskan oil for decades, just as scientists say we need to switch to renewable energy.
If you care about solving the climate crisis please make your voice heard. Tell the Biden administration to fulfill his promises and stop Willow from becoming our nation’s biggest climate disaster.
i think i hear a voice in the music
Its approved..
Gorl I'm crying
Hell yeah
theres time to revert that decision i guess
Was looking for an explanation like this too bad I couldn’t hear you over the music LMAOWTF
Drill baby drill!
Regarding “adding” carbon emission, won’t it just be replacing the oil we use from foreign countries?
Yup!
yes
287 million tons is less than .1% of the global carbon emissions. chill out.
Nice music, you should take out the lady in the background talking tho kinda makes it worse
The music is too loud by the way
Turn the music down
WE WANT OIL !!!
The indigenous people and local communities all voted for the willow project. The region has no alternative source of jobs and tax revenue outside of oil and gas. Stopping this project will displace native peoples from their ancestral lands.
They have been living there for eons why would stopping the project displace them, what have they been doing there? This statement doesn't make sense
@@andes805 Unfortunately oil production in the legacy Prudhoe bay fields is declining. With a declining tax revenue stream and increasing costs of living as well as high infrastructure maintenance small communities could become unsustainable. This threat to local communities way of life is why people in the region have voted and overwhelmingly support the willow project.
not disagreeing but source?
Yes
@@andes805 Buddy... they lived for eons hunting animals and living in shacks. No one wants to live like that. They'd rather have jobs
Chai
Advantages far outweighs the disadvantages BY FARRR
you wish 😹
Not disagreeing but what are the advantages??
@@caitlin0005 russia doesn't have leverage over us and trillionares in saudi arabia don't have leverage over us(we recieve oil from them) we legit are having a fucking energy crisis in america currently not an exaggeration, and the co2 it produces amounts to fucking nothing. and stuff becomes cheaper in america obviously
@@caitlin0005 let's see, jobs, money for the area its in, gas for your car, ect
@@MattlikestrainsOfficial admissions from all the drilling and stuff will hurt Alaska’s climate and the ecosystem
Anyone complaining about the environmental impact of this project should really take a look at Arctic Russia, China and India. Russia still burns coal, China has over 12% of the world's population and they have no environmental regulations. China & India still practice human slavery.
America has stronger sanctions and regulations imposed on Alaska than it has on Venezuela. - Gov. Dunleavy
You’re failing to realize what those are doing to the world, your most likely too old to really care about it but it will literally destroy the world
@@Quartzdragonn think about the people in Africa mining cobalt and "rare earth" minerals. Life literally can't get any worse for them and here you are on your electronic device made with said minerals trying to claim an oil and gas pad in Arctic Alaska is what is going to ruin the earth.
If you've ever been to a Glacier you would see black flakes all over the Glacier. Black absorbs heat so it melts surrounding ice and that is what accelerates the melt.
Those black flakes are coal dust from Asia that float over via the jet stream and land on the glaciers...
Dude just because its worse elsewhere doesn't make it any better. That's like saying well other people committing mass murders, so one murder is fine.
and the U.S market use's that slavery lol
@@Bewefau Out of sight out of mind. As long as Blackrock, Vanguard and State Street are majority shareholders in every industry this will continue.
She just said that the cars used by Americans causes more harm annually than this project does in 30 years lol 😂
