Expand federal resource development in Alaska

Project 2025 recommends restoring 2020 Alaska oil-and-gas decisions and expanding approvals. Executive Order 14153 directed agencies to reverse specified restrictions and prioritize Alaska resource development.

Project 2025 said

A new Administration must take the following actions immediately: Approve the 2020 National Petroleum Reserve Alaska Integrated Activity Plan (NPRA-IAP) by resigning the Record of Decision. Reinstate the 2020 Arctic National Wildlife Refuge Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) by secretarial order and lift the suspension of the leases. Approve the 2020 Willow EIS, the largest pending oil and gas projection in the United States in the National Petroleum Reserve-Alaska, and expand approval from three to five drilling pads.
