Congressional Summary of HJRES 124

This joint resolution nullifies the rule submitted by the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) titled National Petroleum Reserve in Alaska Integrated Activity Plan Record of Decision and issued on April 25, 2022. BLM's plan provides for the management of the National Petroleum Reserve in Alaska, which is an approximately 23-million-acre area on Alaska’s North Slope. The 2022 plan replaced the 2020 plan and closed approximately 48% of the reserve to oil and gas leasing in order to protect certain surface resources and uses, such as protecting wildlife and providing subsistence for communities. Thus, the joint resolution removes the protections provided under the 2022 plan and reverts to the 2020 plan.

This bill is so stupid, why are they disapproving this rule about the National Petroleum Reserve in Alaska? It's like they want to destroy the environment and put our natural resources at risk. I can't believe they would even consider this. How will this affect our future generations and the planet as a whole?
