Sen. Dan Sullivan highlighted that during a recent meeting, President-elect Trump expressed strong sympathy towards the desire for an executive order to reverse Biden’s energy policies in Alaska. This could have monumental effects on oil and gas drilling on extensive federal lands in the area. Sullivan noted that Trump seemed 'very aligned' with the requests made by Alaska's governor and other politicians, signaling potential shifts in policy direction regarding Alaska’s energy resources.
Sullivan emphasized the importance of the National Petroleum Reserve-Alaska, noting that federal law mandates its development for oil and gas. He criticized Biden’s administration for attempting to restrict this development, declaring the decisive fight to keep federal energy resources accessible. His comments reflect a broader sentiment among Alaskan officials who expect more favorable energy policies under Trump's lead, with both an incoming president and interior secretary who support drilling and energy production.
