@KiraOnClimate @exxonmobil March 24, 2026--37 yrs since Exxon Valdez ran aground 11 million Gals of crude oil spilled; killing about 250,00 seabirds, 1,000s of otters, 100s of seals and eagles, many whales. Now, with OIL STILL REMAINING IN THOSE BEACHES do you have a cleanup plan? #NoArcticLicense

.@ConocoPhillips relinquished 68,000 Arctic acres to show its commitment to a smaller Willow footprint. It just bid to buy those same acres back at the Western Arctic lease sale. That promise lasted less than two years. So what exactly was it worth? #NoArcticLicense #StopWillow

@exxonmobil ExxonMobil made $28.8 billion last year and spent just 139 minutes of profit to bid on more Arctic drilling rights. A rounding error for them. Everything at risk for the Arctic. And only weeks after the Exxon Valdez oil spill anniversary #NoArcticLicense”

“After Exxon Valdez, oil still remains in Prince William Sound decades later. What’s the cleanup plan for a spill in the Arctic? Or is there one? Stay away from Teshekpuk lake—things go bad when you get near water. #NoArcticLicense”

@exxonmobil “It was JUST the 37-year anniversary of the Exxon Valdez spill—which we’re still cleaning up—and now you're bidding to drill near Teshekpuk Lake? We still remember. #NoArcticLicense”

@exxonmobil, it was JUST the 37-year anniversary of the Exxon Valdez spill—which we’re still cleaning up—and now you're bidding to drill near Teshekpuk Lake? We still remember. #NoArcticLicense

@Citydweller3 @exxonmobil Pretty wild that @exxonmobil claims it can “responsibly” drill in the Arctic when it still can’t clean up the mess from the last time it touched water. $28.8B in profits and decades of spilled oil later… maybe “responsible” doesn’t mean what they think it means. #NoArcticLicense

@exxonmobil so you’re committed to responsibly meeting the world’s energy needs? But you left a mess after the Exxon Valdez spill, which we are still trying to clean up! You made $28.8 billion last year, but oil still remains in Prince William Sound decades later.  How come you’re not committed to cleaning up your messes? You got plenty of money. Stop being greedy! And what’s the cleanup plan for a spill in the Arctic? I bet there isn’t one. Stay away from Teshekpuk lake! Things go bad when you get near water. #NoArcticLicense Please don’t drill there and threaten the environment, wildlife, and indigenous people. But we know you don’t care for any of that, just money and power like the person in our White House! @ExxonMobil

A new report from @Wilderness names the Western Arctic & Arctic Refuge among 10 U.S. landscapes most threatened by drilling & mining, and shows how communities are pushing back. One message is clear: these lands are not for sale. Learn more: wilderness.org/sites/default/…

The Arctic Refuge ranks #2 on America’s Most Endangered Public Lands 2026. Its tundra and coastal plains host caribou, polar bears, and migratory birds, but oil and gas development is putting these ecosystems at risk. 📖 See the full list of America’s Most Endangered Public Lands. bit.ly/3PtF5aX

The only thing foolish today? Drilling in the Arctic. Happy #AprilFools!

Guess “buffer zones” only matter to ConocoPhillips when it’s convenient. This is pressure closing in on a community. Nuiqsut is home to about 500 Iñupiat people whose way of life depends on clean water, healthy caribou, and access to the land—hunting, fishing, and generations of knowledge tied to the Arctic. #StopWillow #NoArcticLicense

ConocoPhillips, one of the largest oil companies operating in the Arctic, has spent a week straight getting flooded with comments asking them not to drill the Western Arctic. Their response? Moving ahead to secure the opening bid at last week’s lease sale. We see you. We’re not going anywhere. #NoArcticLicense

Wednesday marked the first lease sale in years in the Western Arctic, drawing strong interest with 11 companies bidding across 1.3M acres despite ongoing lawsuits. Our Executive Director, Kristen Miller, shares in @beckybohrerap piece in the @AP on what this means for the region. apnews.com/article/alaska…

ConocoPhillips Alaska Doyon Drilling Rig 26 Incident Update: The incident involving Doyon Drilling Rig 26 has transitioned from an initial emergency response to an environmental impact assessment and mitigation effort. The two individuals who were on the rig at the time of the incident and six other initial responders were treated at nearby clinics and have all been released. Traffic flow has resumed and there continues to be no threat to local infrastructure or communities. The owner and operator of the rig, Doyon Drilling, is leading response and recovery efforts under a Unified Command structure including representatives from the State of Alaska, the Federal Government and the North Slope Borough. Additional details will be communicated by the Unified Command led by Doyon Drilling.

In 2024, @COP_Alaska gave up 68,000 acres in the Arctic as part of a “smaller Willow footprint.” Yesterday, they bid to lease those same acres again. That “commitment” didn’t even last two years. The Arctic deserves more than your shifting commitments. #StopWillow #NoArcticLicense

Great coverage from @lruskin on yesterday's record-breaking Western Arctic lease sale. The scale of the lease sale is striking, but so is what’s behind those numbers: more pressure on caribou habitat, bird migration routes, and the subsistence lifeways tied to this landscape.

BLM opens millions of acres in the Western Arctic to oil companies. Companies including, ConocoPhillips, ExxonMobil, Repsol & Shell are moving into some of the Arctic’s most sensitive lands—threatening caribou, migratory birds, polar bears & Alaska Native communities. 🔗 Full release: alaskawild.org/oil-corporatio…
