4-26-18 Alaskanomics and Alaska’s Natural Resource Wealth

Alaskanomics Scott Goldsmith. Northern Gas Pipelines photo by Dave Harbour We commend Northrim Bank (Northrim and its public service web page, Alaskanomics) for having long supported an approach adopted by Dr. Scott Goldsmith, now retired from the Institute of Social and Economic Research (ISER), the "three legged stool". This analogy equates the stability of the stool to an economy supported equally by 1. oil & gas industry taxes and spending, 2. federal government spending and 3. other resources. The only alteration we would suggest to the stool [...]

4-7-18 Canadian Liberals To The Rescue? Amazing Chutzpah!

Canadian liberals and their pro-anarchy, anti-pipeline, enviro-activist allies caused the death or delay of multiple pipeline modes capable of marketing Canadian oil & gas. Now, with the economy crashing, liberals are positioning themselves as energy transportation saviors. What Chutzpah! -dh Justin Trudeau defends his support for oilsands and pipelines during Fort McMurray visit. CBC.ca. "For 10 years Stephen Harper talked the oilsands up and weren't able to get [pipelines] done." Trudeau said he looked forward to sitting down with industry leaders later Friday to hear more about how the Liberal government can improve oil and gas regulations. [...]

3-23-18 Which is worse off, Alaska or Alberta?

Commentary by Dave Harbour Which is worse off: Alaska or Alberta? Both are controlled by liberals (i.e. socialists). Both are dependent on fossil energy -- and the pipelines transporting it. Both prize expanding an ever-wanting-more entitlement voter base more than a taxpayer base of wealth-creating energy investors and WORKERS. Liberal leaders of both spend billions more than they can afford. Both have lost thousands of taxpayer workers while keeping tax beneficiaries mostly WHOLE. Both project a better economic day...when the current crop of political 'leaders' are safely out of [...]

Government subsidized Fairbanks natural gas scheme plods on... ...with insufficient customer base, insufficient long term gas supply, high cost barriers to fuel oil/gas conversion. This is one of two large, socialized, Alaska energy projects that politicians continue to subsidize in the midst of a fiscal crisis highlighted by deficit budgets.

Alaska's Imprudent LNG Folly Threatens Its Future The Alaska Legislature should stop the madness and funding during this legislative session by Dave Harbour Yesterday, we again made reference to the folly of doing risky, long term business deals with communist China, with whom the United States is still at a state of war on the Korean Peninsula, along with North Korea.
