Alaska’s Arctic Refuge Lease Sale Sees No Bids Amid Ongoing Controversy

Credited from: APNEWS

  • The U.S. Interior Department reported that no bids were received for the recent oil and gas lease sale in Alaska’s Arctic National Wildlife Refuge.
  • This lack of interest was described by Interior Acting Deputy Secretary Laura Daniel-Davis as indicative of the area's value, stating it's "too special" for drilling.
  • The state of Alaska has initiated a lawsuit against the Interior Department, claiming the lease terms are overly restrictive.
  • Prior to this, the first lease sale in early 2021 also saw minimal participation, raising ongoing questions about the economic viability of drilling in this region.
  • Environmental activists emphasize that the oil industry recognizes the risks of drilling in such a remote landscape, reflecting a broader concern over ecological impacts.
