November 2025: TRUMP PRESIDENCY Trump Admin Rolls Back Biden-Era Restrictions On Alaska Oil And Gas Drilling

Trump Admin Rolls Back Biden-Era Restrictions On Alaska Oil And Gas Drilling
"The Trump administration said that it has finalized a rule rescinding Biden-era restrictions on oil and gas drilling in Alaska as part of efforts to strengthen U.S. energy security.

The new rule, to be published in the Federal Register on Nov. 17, will revoke the measures imposed by the Biden administration that restricted drilling in the National Petroleum Reserve on the North Slope, according to the Interior Department (DOI).
“By rescinding the 2024 rule, we are following the direction set by President Trump to unlock Alaska’s energy potential, create jobs for North Slope communities and strengthen American energy security,” Secretary of the Interior Doug Burgum said in a Nov. 13 statement.
“This action restores common-sense management and ensures responsible development benefits both Alaska and the nation.”
Voice of the Arctic Inupiat, a nonprofit representing North Slope communities in Alaska, said it supports the move, noting that it would help sustain power generation, education, and other services that rely on tax revenue from resource development infrastructure." ZeroHedge
