Contributing sentiments towards policy:

51% : At the same time, oil companies in recent years have also shown waning interest in the refuge and are more interested in the NPR-A. Regenerate Alaska, a division of an Australian firm, was the only oil company to directly acquire a tract on the refuge's nearly 1.6 million-acre coastal plain, and it voluntarily canceled its lease in 2022, after Chevron and Hilcorp, two other major oil companies, had also jettisoned their claims.
48% : That "makes no sense because Alaska has high environmental standards and some of the lowest emissions in the country."
38% : "The constant barrage of government regulation changes and whipsaws tells investors that Alaska is not a place to do business," she said.
28% : President Biden moved Wednesday to protect more than 10 million acres of Alaska's North Slope from development, barring oil drilling across giant swaths and canceling leases in the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge issued under President Donald Trump.
