Heartland Institute President James Taylor on Tuesday, March 14 was a guest on Tony Katz Today on WIBC radio in Indianapolis to talk about President Biden\\u2019s announcement this week about drilling in Alaska. (See our press release on that.)

While the environmental left is angry at Biden for opening up any drilling in Alaska (the Willow Project), Taylor explains that the president actually closed off a lot more resources than he opened. \\u201cThis is economic self-mutilation,\\u201d Taylor said. \\u201cThe media is in the bag for the environmental crazies.\\u201d

\\u201cWe have more oil than Saudi Arabia. We have more oil than Russia,\\u201d Taylor said, adding that the drive for \\u201cgreen energy\\u201d will make the United States and the world dependent on rare earth minerals largely controlled by China. Enjoy this conversation on \\u201cenergy security,\\u201d as Katz puts it in his interview with Taylor.\\xa0
