Anchorage Mayor’s Energy Task Force Meets This Morning, 9-11 a.m., City Hall: Senator Lesil McGuire along with House Members Neal Foster and Lance Pruitt.

See Tuesday’s Chukchi Comments…and Monday’s

We are delighted and inspired to see so many dedicated Alaskans taking the time to comment one more time during this endless Joe Henriparade of federal hearings.  The plethora of hearings from a plethora of agencies during a constricted, 2-year period of time is more designed to wear normal Alaskans down and activate the Lower 48 environmental fundraising base than truly seek the opinion of Alaskans.  Nevertheless, we must continue to persevere and comment when open comment periods are offered, or let the record stand with only the environmental activist network talking points to be considered.  The additional comments sent to BOEM and copied to us reflect the knowledge, dedication and expertise of citizens throughout Alaska.  -dh
