Alaska HJR2 urges the reversal of the Biden administration's ban on offshore oil and gas leasing.

The Alaska Legislature passed HJR2, urging the United States Congress and the Trump administration to reverse the outgoing Biden administration's decision to ban offshore oil and gas leasing. The resolution highlights Alaska's history of safe and responsible resource development, emphasizing the economic benefits and energy security provided by offshore oil and gas activities. It argues that the ban on 625 million acres of federal Outer Continental Shelf land prevents future administrations from making informed energy decisions and threatens Alaska's economy, jobs, and energy affordability.
