4-1-17 IT’S APRIL FOOL’S DAY! But the comment below is real.

Alaska Governor Wants Trump to Back LNG Pipeline “Socialism is the philosophy of failure, the creed of ignorance, and the gospel of envy.” —Perth, Scotland, 28 May 1948, in Churchill, Europe Unite: Speeches 1947 & 1948 (London: Cassell, 1950), 347. Our commentary: As an Alaska citizen and federal taxpayer this writer resents and opposes the suggestion by Alaska's governor that public dollars be wasted on his government-owned, socialist LNG pipedream project: in the form of grants, loans or loan guarantees. Conservatives and liberals alike should be able [...]

3-29-17 Governor’s Government LNG Marketing Efforts Cost Much, Produced Little to Nothing

If you had a multi-billion dollar private sector project... Courtesy Buzzfeed. ...would you hire a government bureaucracy to do it for you? Actually, this is what is happening. The citizens of Alaska elected a lawyer who takes over a private sector project, flies around Asia and the Lower 48 on marketing trips, and continues to operate LNG marketing offices in Japan and Houston while supporting tax increases on the oil industry and presiding over a state that refuses to significantly cut its operating budget while its subsidized budget [...]

2-14-17 Happy Valentine’s Day!

More Gas Pipe/LNG Entrigue We noted that YESTERDAY the Alaska governor sought to increase the statutory reach of the Department of Law's Attorney General, so that he (i.e. and various attorney friends of the Administration as well, we presume), could participate in tribunals presided over by the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC). Here is the bill he submitted to the Legislature.
