Judge Denies Environmentalists\u2019 Motion for Preliminary Injunction<\/p>\n

Allowing ConocoPhillips to bulldoze forward with construction of the largest oil and gas project on public lands before the lawsuits are settled is needlessly destructive.<\/p>\n

ANCHORAGE, AK \u2013 A federal judge today ruled in favor of oil giant ConocoPhillips by denying a motion<\/a> for preliminary injunction brought by environmentalists as part of a lawsuit<\/a> challenging the Willow project in Alaska\u2019s Western Arctic. The ruling allows construction activities planned for the remaining three weeks of the construction season, including constructing roads and a gravel mine as a first step toward developing a massive oil-extraction operation. Regardless of this winter\u2019s activities, the lawsuit is not over. The fight will continue, using every legal tool available, with the hope of preventing harm to the Western Arctic.<\/p>\n

The road construction and gravel mining plans are slated for high-density caribou winter habitat, which, plaintiffs argue, will disturb the herd and affect hunters in the area. Mining for gravel also requires blasting, which will produce so much noise that the sound would not dissipate to ambient levels for more than 100 miles. The motion for preliminary injunction, which sought to halt this activity due to the irreparable harm it will cause, was filed as part of a lawsuit brought by Earthjustice on behalf of Defenders of Wildlife, Friends of the Earth, and Greenpeace USA, and by the Center for Biological Diversity and Natural Resources Defense Council (NRDC).<\/p>\n

Legal proceedings will continue. Plaintiffs\u2019\u00a0 lawsuit notes that the Department of the Interior\u2019s March 13 approval for the Willow project was unlawful, because it failed to consider reasonable alternatives \u2013 such as limiting the project\u2019s impacts on climate and the most sensitive areas in the Western Arctic. The Bureau of Land Management also failed to meaningfully consider greenhouse-gas emissions from the fossil fuel development Willow would catalyze. This project is only the beginning of sweeping fossil-fuel extraction that the oil giant has planned for the region, which could contain up to 3 billion barrels of oil in addition to the 600 million barrels in the Willow project area. Willow alone is expected to emit 260 million metric tons of greenhouse gas emissions over the course of 30 years.<\/p>\n

Earthjustice and plaintiff groups issued the following statements in response to today\u2019s ruling:<\/p>\n

\u201cAlthough the White House and Department of Interior were not persuaded to stop Willow despite the advocacy of more than 5 million individuals, we are now using the power of the law to restore some balance. While this particular round of the legal challenge did not produce the outcome we had hoped for, our court battle continues,\u201d said Erik Grafe<\/b>, Deputy Managing Attorney in Earthjustice\u2019s Alaska Regional Office<\/b>. \u201cWe will do everything within our power to protect the climate, wildlife, and people from this dangerous carbon bomb. Climate scientists have warned that we have less than seven years to get it right on climate change, and we cannot afford to lock in three decades of oil drilling that will only serve to open the door to more fossil-fuel extraction.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cToday\u2019s decision is a disappointment, but we remain undeterred,\u201d said Nicole Whittington-Evans<\/b><\/a>, Defenders of Wildlife\u2019s Alaska Program Director.<\/b> \u201cWe remain committed to protecting the western Arctic and look forward to the court\u2019s full consideration of the Willow project, including its impacts to polar bears threatened with extinction and massive carbon emissions that will worsen the climate crisis for decades to come.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cAllowing ConocoPhillips to bulldoze forward with construction of the largest oil and gas project on public lands before the lawsuits are settled is needlessly destructive,\u201d said Natalie Mebane, Climate Campaign Director at Greenpeace USA.<\/b> \u201cAs the largest historical emitter of greenhouse gas emissions, the U.S. cannot afford Willow or any new oil and gas projects if we\u2019re going to avoid the worst impacts of the climate crisis. New projects will take years if not decades to complete. They do nothing to meet current energy needs. It will only deepen our dependence on expensive fossil fuels while destroying our climate, harming our health, and polluting communities.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are disappointed that the Court decided to allow development of this dangerous carbon bomb while our litigation plays out,\u201d said Hallie Templeton, Legal Director for Friends of the Earth<\/b>. \u201cHowever, the fight has just begun. We are confident in our claims that the administration failed to fully assess the range of environmental, social and economic damages that Willow will have. From harming local caribou herds and subsistence communities to fueling the climate crisis, the federal government must revisit its decision to greenlight this disastrous project.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s heartbreaking that ConocoPhillips has been allowed to break ground on Willow before the court has fully assessed whether the project is lawful,\u201d said Kristen Monsell, a senior attorney at the Center for Biological Diversity<\/b>. \u201cBut this case isn\u2019t over, and we\u2019ll keep fighting to protect struggling Arctic wildlife and our climate from this disastrous project. We\u2019re hopeful we\u2019ll get the Willow project\u2019s approval thrown out once again.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cWillow is a climate bomb that would lock in decades more dependence on fossil fuels, at the very time we need to shift to cleaner energy options,\u201d said Ann Alexander, a senior attorney at Natural Resources Defense Council<\/b>. \u201cIt would do irreparable harm to irreplaceable resources. It has no place in our energy future. It\u2019s approval was unlawful. We look forward to making that case before the Court.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
