(sarkophoto / Getty Images) Gas prices may be soaring, but a giant Alaska oil project has been crushed by a federal judge appointed by former President Barack Obama — all because of concern over polar bears.
According to The Associated Press , the project — approved under former President Donald Trump — was struck down by U.S. District Court Judge Sharon Gleason in Anchorage, arguing the large project on Alaska’s North Slope would jeopardize polar bears.
The project, ConocoPhillips’ Willow Project in the National Petroleum Reserve-Alaska, was approved by the Trump administration in late 2020 and had been defended in court by the Biden administration.
According to NPR , Gleason ruled that the Bureau of Land Management’s decision to exclude foreign greenhouse gas emissions when it gave the project an environmental review was “arbitrary and capricious.”
She added that the bureau had acted against the law when it created its “alternatives analysis based on the view that ConocoPhillips has the right to extract all possible oil and gas on its leases.”
Furthermore, the Obama-appointed judge threw out a report by the Fish and Wildlife Service due to the fact that she said it didn’t include specifics when it noted the project “was not likely to jeopardize the continued existence of polar bears and not likely to result in the adverse modification of polar bear critical habitat.”
According to the United States Energy Information Administration , the price of a gallon of gas stood at $3.174 per gallon as of Monday, up $1.008 since last year.

Yes, We Need Your Help
I hate being “that guy” who asks people to donate because I think our conservative news network is so crucial, but here I am…
When I left my cushy corporate job in 2017, I did so knowing that my family would have to make sacrifices. But I couldn’t continue to watch the nation slip into oblivion and was inspired by President Trump’s willingness to fight the good fight even at his own personal expense. What I didn’t realize then is that conservative media would be so heavily attacked, canceled, and defunded that the sacrifices would be extreme.
Many in this nation are struggling right now even though we weren’t struggling just a few years ago. I’m not alone. But I wake up every morning and operate the sites we’ve been able to build because there’s really no other choice. I refuse to be beholden to Big Tech like so many other conservative news outlets, which is why you won’t see Google ads here. With that said, it’s often challenging to pay the bills and it’s even harder to expand so we can get the America First message out to a wider audience.
The economic downturn has forced me to make a plea for help. Between cancel culture, lockdowns, and diminishing ad revenue, we need financial assistance in order to continue to spread the truth. We ask all who have the means, please donate through our Giving Fuel. Your generosity is what keeps these sites running and allows us to expand our reach so the truth can get to the masses. We’ve had great success in growing but we know we can do more with your assistance.
We currently operate:
- NOQ Report
- Conservative Playlist
- Uncanceled News
- Based Underground
- Five other conservative news sites
I would even be willing to entertain investments and partnerships at this stage. I’ve turned them down in the past because editorial purity is extremely important. I’ll turn them down again if anyone wants us to start supporting RINOs or avoid “taboo” topics like voter fraud, vaccines, or transgender supremacy. But I’d talk to fellow America First patriots who want to help any (or all) of our 10 news sites. Hit me up at jdrucker (at) substack (dot) com if you’re interested.
For those who have the means and just want to help keep the mission of spreading a conservative, Christian message to the nation, please consider a generous donation.
