Willow Project is a massive and decades long oil drilling venture on Alaska’s North Slope in the National Petroleum Reserve, which is owned by the US federal government.
The area where the project is planned holds up to 600 million barrels of oil. The method used in this project consists of melting the ice on Alaska so they can start drilling the oil.
The current US President, Joe Biden from the Democratic party, approved this controversial project on March 13. Many citizens are upset by this move, because of broken political promise and the impact on environmental issues.
