Unanimous Consent Request--S. 5438
Senator Sullivan asked the Senate to pass S. 5438, Alaska’s Right to Produce Act 2.0, by unanimous consent, saying it would protect existing oil and gas leases on Alaska’s North Slope from cancellation by future presidents and support energy jobs, lower costs, and services in Alaska Native communities. Senator Heinrich objected, saying the bill would allow drilling in the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge, which he said would harm wildlife and public lands, bypass environmental laws and the regular committee process, and raise little revenue. Sullivan responded that the drilling area has been extensively studied, is supported by Alaskans including local residents, and said the administration blocked Alaska leases while permitting drilling elsewhere.Written by AI from the debate.
