By |2016-12-22T22:26:42-09:00December 5th, 2016|Enviro-Industrial-Governmental Cabal, Federal Obstruction|

Governor Jack Dalrymple. Northern Gas Pipelines file photo by Dave Harbour Commentary: We see the federal action, described below, as a violation of due process and, by extension, the rule of law. The Corps of Engineers consulted all potentially interested/affected parties and after a constitutional operation of due process approved the pipeline route's right of way easement on July 25th. Does not the political action to block the proposed route violate the constitutional guarantee of due process and the record that supported the Corps' decision on the record? [...]

12-1-16 Outlook: Texas LNG Exports & LNG Demand

By |2016-12-22T22:26:42-09:00December 1st, 2016|Interstate Gas, LNG|

  Demand for U.S. natural gas exports via Texas is set to increase by close to 6 Bcf/d over the next few years.  At the same time, Texas production has declined more than 3.0 Bcf/d (16%) to less than 17 Bcf/d in the first half of November from a peak of over 20 Bcf/d in December 2014, and any upside from current levels is likely to be far outpaced by that export demand growth. Much of the supply for export demand from Texas will need to come from outside the [...]

By |2016-12-22T22:26:42-09:00November 28th, 2016|Commentary|

Today, we explain why Ak-Headlamp really does speak for all Alaskans -- in our opinion Commentary.  When we old timers earned our Journalism degrees we were taught that the reputation and even the Constitutional protections afforded the 4th Estate were based on a bedrock of integrity.  How we then interpreted the word "integrity" seemed obvious.  We've generally believed: When writing news stories, be consistently and reliably objective.  When writing commentary, make sure the reader knows the piece merely reflects the opinion of the publication's editorial board or columnist.   (When we [...]

11-26-16 Trump’s Interior Department Appointments = Pluses & Minuses

By |2016-12-22T22:26:42-09:00November 26th, 2016|ACES, ANWR, Commentary, Enviro-Industrial-Governmental Cabal, Federal Obstruction, Federal Progress|

Choosing An Interior Secretary Parnell Sullivan       Cronin Two potential Alaskan picks for Interior Secretary offer both advantages and disadvantages.  Bob Gilliam, below, has used his wealth to support anti-development activism that injures the constitutional guarantee of 'due process'.  Sarah Palin created a predatory oil tax and applied it retroactively, injuring Alaska's investment climate for nearly a decade.  We doubt either has the management capacity to 'drain the swamp' of eco-extremism in the Interior Department.  If an Alaskan is to be chosen, a better choice [...]
