Omg Biden is genociding those poor poor oil executive's profit margins!

From the river to the sea, oil exec profits will be drastically elevated!

Yeah, but Biden has bad debating skills, so we're all going to vote for Trump now so he can overturn this, right?

The debate has had a remarkably slight impact on public opinion to date. It's not clear that it'll shift things in any kind of meaningful way.

This is the highest discourse centrists are capable of.

This is the best summary I could come up with:


The Biden administration denied permission on Friday for an Alaska agency to build a 211-mile industrial road that would have cut through Gates of the Arctic National Park and Preserve to reach copper and zinc deposits beneath untouched wilderness.

The pair of decisions from the Interior Department is part of a steady stream of environmental moves that President Biden has taken ahead of the November election to solidify his standing among conservationists, an important constituency.

In blocking the road, known as the Ambler Access Project, the administration prioritized conservation and protections for tribal communities that depend on hunting and fishing in the area over mineral development that might enable more clean energy.

Ambler Metals accused the Biden administration of rejecting the road based “not on the project, but national politics in an election year.” The company said it would “explore all legal, legislative and regulatory avenues to move it forward.”

The two-lane, all-season gravel road would have run through the Brooks Range foothills and the Gates of the Arctic National Park and Preserve, crossing 11 rivers and thousands of streams before it reached the site of a future mine.

Senator Dan Sullivan, Republican of Alaska, said last week he had added an amendment to an annual defense bill that would force the Interior Department to select a path for the project.


The original article contains 844 words, the summary contains 221 words. Saved 74%. I'm a bot and I'm open source!

If Amber Metals didn't want Biden to reject the road project in an election year they should have withdrawn the proposal. But they only care about themselves so sucks to suck.

The Alaskan wilderness is going to be "The Great Valley (Land before time)" to post apocalypse survivors
