When considering the future of the oil and gas industry beyond 2024, it is crucial to address the often-misguided use of the term "pollutant" in reference to carbon dioxide (CO2). While CO2 is frequently categorized as a "greenhouse gas," this label can be misleading without proper context. CO2 plays a vital role in the Earth's ecosystems; it is essential for the process of photosynthesis, where plants convert carbon dioxide into oxygen, thereby sustaining plant life and, by extension, animal life, including humans. Moreover, CO2 is a natural byproduct of Moreover, CO2 is a natural byproduct of respiration in mammals. Every time we exhale, we release carbon dioxide into the atmosphere, underscoring its inherent role in the respiratory cycle. Thus, describing CO2 simply as a pollutant overlooks its fundamental contributions to life on Earth. As we engage in discussions about environmental policies and regulations, particularly in regions like California, it is imperative to present these facts to government officials and policymakers. An informed dialogue that recognizes the importance of CO2 can lead to a more balanced understanding of its role in both natural processes and the broader context of climate science. Advocating for a nuanced perspective on CO2 is essential to avoid oversimplification and to promote responsible energy practices that ensure both environmental sustainability and economic viability.

Trump Administration Scraps Drilling Rules for National Petroleum Reserve -- OPIS

Trump Administration Scraps Drilling Rules for National Petroleum Reserve -- OPIS

The Trump administration on Monday rescinded Biden-era rules aimed at restricting oil and gas drilling in Alaska's National Petroleum Reserve.

In an announcement about the move, the Department of Interior said the three policy documents approved by the Biden administration went against what Congress intended when establishing the reserve, ignored economic realities, failed to consider the wishes of local resident, and threatened to unnecessarily restrict access to vital domestic energy resources."

"Alaska's resource potential has been held hostage for years by anti-development ideologues," Interior Secretary Doug Burgum said in the announcement. "We are committed to putting development back at the center of land management where it belongs."


The NPR-A covers about 23 million acres on Alaska's North Slope. Biden-era rules limited future leases and industrial development on more than 13.3 million acres in existing Special Areas within the NPR-A.

With the Biden rules rescinded, development in the region will now be guided by regulations in place prior to their adoption. When announcing the rollback plan last month, the Interior Department said the earlier rules "have long guided responsible development in the National Petroleum Reserve in Alaska while incorporating protections for wildlife, subsistence and surface values."

Removing the rules limiting Alaskan oil and gas production is part of President Trump's efforts to boost U.S. petroleum output.

In 2024, Alaskan crude production averaged 421,000 b/d, the lowest annual level since 1976 and more than 79% lower than the annual average high of 2.017 million b/d hit in 1988, according to data from the Energy Information Administration.
