1-16-15 BP to cut more jobs in response to continuing, low oil prices

Caution:  We would urge our Arctic oriented readers to carefully follow this BSEE Arctic/General OCS Research Plan, for if contracts are given to organizations or professors that are predisposed to be agenda driven, the results may be less than scientific, less than objective.  In short, one hopes we can avoid the situation wherein a Federal Administration sells leases, then does everything in its power to nullify action--at considerable expense to leaseholders and consumers.  -dh   But hold on....  Bradner has an update for this story. Alaska Attorney General Craig Richards ... said [...]

1-13-15 Why Is ‘Climate Change/Global Warming’ Important To Energy Producers?

Alaska budget and gasline Comments, ADN by Tim Bradner (NGP Photo).    I have sympathy for new Gov. Bill Walker walking into this.  So far — with one exception — Walker’s actions have been quite reasoned. He prudently ordered a stop to unobligated spending on several high-profile state development projects and put off submitting a revised state budget until January to allow his team to develop a plan. Note to readers and public service advertisers:  the right hand column normally appearing here is being reconstructed.  Thank you for your patience.  -dh [...]

See Our Earlier Commentary: "Is Alaska Beginning A New Year Of Accomplishment or Acrimony?" (Other references) ADN by Dermot Cole.  Gov. Bill Walker (NGP Photo) took a major step toward revising the way the state is dealing with a proposed gas pipeline by removing three members of the Alaska Gasline Development Corp. board and instructing two commissioners not to sign a secrecy pledge proposed by the Parnell administration. (Comment: We do not know enough about all the circumstances to comment on the rightness or wrongness of the Governor's action or legislative reactions.  We do [...]

12-30-14 Oil Price Results: Alaska Governor Walker and Alberta Premier Prentice Plan Spending Cuts

Our Commentary: "Enlightened Self Interest vs. the Public Interest: Is Global Warming and Ocean Acidification Science Reliable" is being rescheduled. -dh Juneau Empire Editorial: Thumbs up to fulfilling promises. On Friday, Gov. Bill Walker (NGP Photo) issued an administrative order to halt work on six of Alaska’s biggest construction projects. During his campaign for governor, Walker promised to cut “unnecessary” studies as a way to reduce the state’s expenses. As most of those six projects are still in the study phase, we shouldn’t be surprised that Walker is considering them for the [...]

Letters to the Editor, by Thorpe Watson PhD.   The author, Dr. Watson, is demonized by some special interests involved in activist agendas.  We believe his voice should not be muted.  Instead, since many trillions of dollars and the future of many countries is at risk, all voices should be heard and considered by critically thinking taxpayers.  -dh The History of World World Temperature...for reference of our readers.  -dh Politicians are now urging us to “fight against climate change”, a phenomenon that has been happening since the beginning of time.

12-11-14 Obama Is SUCCEEDING In His War On Conventional, Reliable Energy Sources

"Obama's Successful War on Conventional Energy Sources" Investors Business Daily Editorial WSJ Op-Ed by Congressman Kevin Cramer.   Pushback against the Obama administration’s complex Clean Power Plan—which would reduce carbon emissions from power plants by 30% in 2030 from 2005 levels—has mostly focused on its staggering cost. NERA Economic Consulting, for instance, estimates the plan will increase the nationwide average price of electricity 12% to 17% over 15 years.

Personal note: en route today from Cuenca, Ecuador to Anchorage.... Globe & Mail.  In Alberta, where the Conservatives are Progressive, Premier Jim Prentice (NGP Photo) accurately described his province’s biggest challenge in a weekend speech to his party.
