STOP THE WILLOW PROJECT!!!


STOP THE WILLOW PROJECT!!!
The Issue
Willow is the single largest oil extraction project proposed on federal lands, estimated to add more than 250 million metric tons of CO2 to the atmosphere over the next 30 years — equivalent to the emissions from 66 coal fired power plants (roughly 1/3 of all U.S. coal plants) or from 56 million vehicles over an entire year. With plans calling for up to 250 wells, 37 miles of roads, 389 miles of pipelines, airstrips and a new central processing facility to be built, the Willow Plan would contribute more Greenhouse Gas (GHG) emissions than any other proposed project on America’s public lands.This will devastate efforts to reach emission reduction targets and keep global warming below 2º celsius. Quite simply, this is a massive carbon bomb waiting to detonate
