4-7-18 Canadian Liberals To The Rescue? Amazing Chutzpah!

Canadian liberals and their pro-anarchy, anti-pipeline, enviro-activist allies caused the death or delay of multiple pipeline modes capable of marketing Canadian oil & gas.

"For 10 years Stephen Harper talked the oilsands up and weren't able to get [pipelines] done." Trudeau said he looked forward to sitting down with industry leaders later Friday to hear more about how the Liberal government can improve oil and gas regulations. [...]

3-23-18 Which is worse off, Alaska or Alberta?

Commentary by Dave Harbour Which is worse off: Alaska or Alberta? Both are controlled by liberals (i.e. socialists). Both are dependent on fossil energy -- and the pipelines transporting it. Both prize expanding an ever-wanting-more entitlement voter base more than a taxpayer base of wealth-creating energy investors and WORKERS. Liberal leaders of both spend billions more than they can afford. Both have lost thousands of taxpayer workers while keeping tax beneficiaries mostly WHOLE. Both project a better economic day...when the current crop of political 'leaders' are safely out of [...]

10-12-17 Your Northern Energy Update

Warning: Alaska treads troubled economic waters in the middle of a fiscal storm. Politicians are making the financial crisis worse by creating state subsidies and ratepayer risks. The story below again reminds us of the Administration's payoff to Interior Alaska supporters via a subsidized Fairbanks gas utility (i.e. when South Central's Enstar customers paid for their own). Not to mention the otherwise uneconomic Fire Island wind generation project and an infeasible Alaska LNG\pipeline scheme. Note how two local politicians in the story below are discussing a strategy for squeezing [...]

10-6-17 Friday’s Much Ado About Energy … And Politics!

The Energy World Under President Trump For the energy scholars among us, this Reuters article has it all: from oil & gas to coal, Paris climate change accord, and alternative energy. While we respect the research and statistics, we could call into question some of the journalism that leans leftward. With that caveat, it is a piece worth maintaining in our archives and a ready reference for those of you who will be giving speeches in the near future. We say, "near future" because the energy landscape is constantly [...]

1-9-17 Honest Energy Folks Should Beware of Socialists

Dear Friends: Our long term readers know that this webpage was born over 15 years ago, when certain special interests sought to demonize some Alaskan and some Canadian energy interests. One of our secondary goals has been to facilitate greater diplomacy and understanding among citizens of both countries -- in support of both separate and joint energy projects. Hopefully, the sort of blog entry we have today will lead us ever closer to greater understanding among citizens of the two countries. -dh "...because that's where the [...]

12-9-16 Murkowski Energy Bill Fails, Blames House; Canada’s Energy Policies Fail With Rising Global Warming Hysteria

Earlier this week, we wondered if Alaska's governor, Bill Walker was rational when, in a letter to ExxonMobil, he cautioned one of his state's major investors to subdue its Constitutional right of free speech. Today, our Argus Media friends reminded their readers of this blundering statement: "Please do not take steps to thwart Alaska's ability to monetize our gas," Walker wrote. Argus also focused on another gas project blunder. "Alaska governor Bill Walker has told ExxonMobil that the state does not need to provide the producer fiscal certainty on the massive [...]
