Op-Ed: At Interior, We’re Ready To Bring The Endangered Species Act Up To Date Dep. Secretary of the Interior David Bernhardt The Washington Post Aug. 9, 2018 A modern vision of conservation is one that uses federalism, public-private partnerships and market-based solutions to achieve sound stewardship. These approaches, combined with sensible regulations and the best available science, will achieve the greatest good in the longest term. Last month, the Trump administration took this approach to bringing our government’s implementation of the Endangered Species Act into the 21st century. [...]

8-8-18 Will Alaskans Let A CABAL Kill Their Economy?

By wpnorthern|2018-08-11T11:39:43-09:00August 8th, 2018|AGDC, Alaska Governor Bill Walker, Alaska's Fiscal Crisis, Alternate Energy, Arctic Policy, China, Coastal Management, Columnists, Commentary, Crony Capitalism, Enviro-Industrial-Governmental Cabal, Global Warming, LNG, What The Other Side Is Up To|

Killing Alaska's Pioneering State Economy by Dave Harbour Here is a grassroots program designed to kill 49th state free enterprise. This socialist feat is accomplished by creating an Enviro-Industrial-Governmental Cabal model with insufficient means of sustaining itself in the free market. It reflects the same thinking that permits current Alaskan leadership to ignore prudent budgeting during a fiscal crisis while attempting to marry Alaska's future with Chinese Communist energy and finance companies in consummating an as yet infeasible LNG project. We don't know whether to label such leadership "narcissistic", "naively well [...]

Friday Musings: Commentary: Nakedness We are extremely disappointed with republican Kevin Myer and Alaska's current democrat lieutenant governor for their continuing support of Governor Bill Walker's socialized LNG export scheme. For years we have provided evidence that in wake of lower shale-induced gas prices and extensive LNG export competition the producers have been right in proclaiming that, for an Alaska North Slope gas export project, "now is not the time". Alaska's mostly tidewater based competitors do not have to include the cost of a massive, 800 mile Arctic gas pipeline. [...]

7-31-18 Alaska Business Leader Opines On China

By wpnorthern|2018-08-02T06:00:39-09:00July 31st, 2018|AGDC, China, Commentary, LNG, Trump Administration Energy Initiatives|

Alaska/China Bedfellows -Opinion- China purchases a Papa Bear's percentage of Alaska's prodigious seafood market. No worries, though, because the interaction is largely year to year business interaction between the Communist country and a number of private sector risk takers. Alaska's governor believes that the seafood experience bodes well for his plan to finance a $40-60 billion Arctic gas pipeline/LNG project using long term contracts with China as security for a finance plan. Apples and oranges. A large number of private sector investors assume the risk that a seafood deal [...]

7-25-18 Alaska and Venezuela Have This In Common

By wpnorthern|2018-08-06T16:05:55-09:00July 25th, 2018|AGDC, Alaska's Fiscal Crisis, Commentary, LNG|

Q. What do Alaska and Venezuela have in common? Answer. Both have economies that are dependent on volatile oil revenues. Both have insufficiently diversified their economies. Both overspent on social programs during times of high oil prices, ensuring that their economies would be unsustainable during times of low prices. Both now spend more that their economies can afford. Both place greater emphasis on creating new liabilities than attracting new investment. Leaders of Venezuela and Alaska are attracted to socialized control of energy resources. Both are experiencing fiscal crisis. Foreign [...]

7-20-18 Alaska’s Socialist LNG Export Project

What about competitive position of the Alaska LNG idea? The greatest, current competitive failing of the Alaska government LNG project -- aside from its crippling socialist model -- is that its competitors do not have to include the cost of an 800 mile arctic pipeline into the financing plans of their near-tidewater LNG projects. In addition, most of the competition has better labor costs, better logistics, better climatic conditions, and better investor owned management incentives, discretion and market-place reaction times. -dh Today's Alaska LNG News and Our Comment: [...]
