Congress votes to reverse Biden’s Alaska petroleum reserve management plan

Congress Overturns Oil Leasing Plan in Alaska

Critics argue that this method lacks clarity and proper stakeholder engagement, while supporters claim it aligns with Alaska’s development goals. The resolution now awaits Trump’s approval.
