Manchin: This is a long awaited and critical step towards shoring up American energy security
Washington,
DC — Today, U.S. Senator Joe Manchin (D-WV), Chairman of the
Senate Energy and Natural Resources Committee, applauded the Administration’s
decision to reapprove the Willow Project in Alaska’s National Petroleum
Reserve.
“I
welcome today’s Record of Decision (ROD) that finally
reapproves the ConocoPhillips Willow Project in Alaska’s
National Petroleum Reserve. This is a long awaited and critical step
towards shoring up American energy security. Responsible development of our
abundant natural resources is essential if we are to maintain our status
as the superpower of the world, capable of supporting our allies around
the globe. While the torturous, nearly five-year process it took to get to
this final approval is proof that permitting reform is needed more than ever,
this is a levelheaded decision that will strengthen Alaska and
our entire nation. I will continue to work with the Administration to
support common sense, energy security projects like these that create good
paying jobs and maintain America’s standing on the global
stage,” said Chairman Manchin.
