I’m not commenting about the specifics of this Alaskan drilling. But in general the path to reducing oil consumption ironically needs us to maintain low oil prices and control the supply. Our economy is currently life-support-style dependent on oil and there’s no way we can transition to anything (good) without maintaining that.

Also the current crisis with Russia demands more oil production, otherwise even more economic collapse will happen.
