We need to be tamping down fossil fuel extraction, not ramping it up. Approving Willow - much like his giving more oil drilling permits than Trump did - directly contradicts Biden's expressed concern that climate change is an "existential threat." Green energy investment in the Inflation Reduction Act is roughly 5% of the money we give to the Defense Dept., and Defense is the single largest emitter or greenhouse gasses on the planet. We need an emergency level just transition from a dirty economy to a clean economy. Saying how much you care about a problem while actually doing everything to perpetuate it is a road to disaster - for the planet and for us. #disruptthecorrupt theguardian.com/us-news/2023…

I want to like you but we need oil and we need cheap gas. This is a losing issue. Promote nuclear energy

So it's a return to slavery then, is it? It was coal that allowed Britain & then the US to ban slavery. It's been coal, oil, & NG that have prospered & HELD nations like the US to the standard of living YOU have now. They're the only guard between you & slavery.

Climate is not solely impacted by fossil fuels. A myopic approach won’t accomplish much
