Our Commentary:  On the one hand, Alaska’s Governor pretends to be pro-Trump, pro-infrastructure, pro-jobs, pro-energy.

He forwards his message by touting his to date infeasible, government-owned, bureaucrat-run LNG scheme in Washington. 

On the other hand, he supports a Climate Change Policy that would totally destroy Alaska’s economy by converting it into a crony-capitalist, Gordian knotted, regulatory state controlled by enviro-activists and rural sovereignty advocates.  To the federal government we say when considering Alaskan government pleas for support: follow the money, the rise of enviro-activism and the potential fall of capitalism in the formerly great, pioneering state, “the last frontier”.   (See news below.)
