Alaska sues Biden for stalling reopening of federal lands

Gov. Mike Dunleavy accuses Interior of breaking statehood compact Sunday, July 11, 2021 Alaska is fighting the Biden administration’s move to delay the reopening of millions of acres of federal land, including allotments for tribal veterans, accusing the Interior Department of seeking to keep vast swaths of the state locked up as “de facto parks.” The state sued in federal court last week to stop the Interior Department from reversing the Trump administration’s January release of 28 million acres in Alaska from federal temporary land withdrawals, making available the areas to natural-resources development. Interior Secretary Deb Haaland’s April 15 reversal “blocks State land selections and Alaska Native Vietnam Veteran allotments” in violation of the Alaska National Interest Lands Conservation Act, said Alaska Gov. Mike Dunleavy’s office in a Wednesday statement.

Wake Up Call : Rapidly Thawing Permafrost Threatens Trans-Alaska Pipeline

12.07.2021 - US, United States - Common Dreams Trans-Alaska Pipeline System. It runs from the Arctic Ocean to the Gulf of Alaska at Valdez 800 miles (1,300 km) (Image by I, Luca Galuzzi / Wikipedia) “The implications of this speak to the pipeline’s integrity and the effect climate change is having on pipeline safety in general.” Alaska’s thawing permafrost is undermining the supports that hold up an elevated section of the Trans-Alaska Pipeline, putting in danger the structural integrity of one of the world’s largest oil pipelines. In a worst-case scenario, a rupture of the pipeline would result in an oil spill in a delicate and remote landscape where it would be extremely difficult to clean up.
