Send your public comment to oppose the Trump administration’s attempt to gut oil spill safeguards in the Arctic.
The Trump administration is moving to dismantle critical rules that help prevent blowouts, improve containment, and ensure rapid oil spill response on Alaska’s Outer Continental Shelf, including off the coast of the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge.
Taking steps backwards in essential safety requirements — especially those enacted in the wake of the devastating Deepwater Horizon disaster — ignores the realities of drilling in the punishing, remote conditions in the Arctic, threatens Alaska Native communities’ culture and survival, and places vulnerable species like endangered polar bears, whales, and migratory birds at imminent risk from deadly oil spills.
The Trump administration is accepting public comments on this destructive plan until October 5. Submit a public comment opposing their attempt to roll back critical offshore Arctic drilling safety rules.
Expanding Arctic drilling deepens our fossil fuel addiction in a rapidly warming climate, directly undermining global efforts to avert catastrophic environmental collapse. It’s a reckless gamble with our future for the sake of Trump’s “drill, baby, drill” agenda.
