The Senate Energy Committee released budget reconciliation legislation today that would open a small part of the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge to oil and gas development.
According to a summary, the CBO estimates the package would raise $1,092 billion over the 10year budget window. It would limit development to 2,000 acres on federal land.
"The legislation I released tonight will put Alaska and the entire nation on a path toward greater prosperity by creating jobs, keeping energy affordable for families and businesses, generating new wealth, and strengthening our security," Chairman Lisa Murkowski (R-Alaska) said in a statement.
Opening ANWR to development would allow Murkowski to achieve a long-sought goal while meeting instructions in the budget resolution, H. Con. Res. 7.1, to raise $1 billion in revenue over the next decade.
A map of the area referenced in the bill is available here.
WHAT'S NEXT: The legislation's release allows the committee to move to a markup, perhaps as soon as next week.
