Important Advice To Alaska Legislators Facing A Fiscal Crisis From our friends at Ak-Headlamp “Promoting a Favorable Business Climate” has been the number one goal of the Alliance for more than 30 years, and for good reason.

10-20-16 Kenai Citizen Laments Ak-LNG Slowdown

"Experience is a dear teacher...."  B. Franklin/W. Shakespeare (See Alaska Public Media story, right column.) We would only point out that certain longtime advocates of strong state participation in an Alaska LNG project have experienced a personal reality lesson.  The lesson is that oil and gas investment is risky.   When government and citizens become involved in energy projects, they subject themselves to risk.   This is why we have consistently counseled public officials to avoid equity investment in private projects.   The private sector is ready, willing [...]

10-11-16 The New President Will Bring Alaska (and America) To Energy Based Prosperity Or Poverty

We'd love to see you tomorrow night in Anchorage!  -dh Let's Keep Our Eyes On The Prize: One Presidential Candidate Will Support Reasonable Energy Policies That Build Prosperity And The Other Will Support Unreasonable, Impoverishing Energy Policies.   Dear Readers: Respectfully. It's not whether we prefer the morals of one imperfect candidate over another.  Both are flawed, as have been past presidents, as have been ourselves.

10-10-16 Did Alaska’s Senators Jump The Gun Trashing Trump?

Our take on this headline: Alaska Sens. Sullivan and Murkowski call on Donald Trump to drop out of presidential race After the disgusting Trump "hot mike" comments from 11 years ago, we collected our thoughts and offered them to Tim Pawlenty last Saturday.  Today, we wish we had similarly counselled Alaska's Senators to not, "jump the gun".  After all the outrage and dust settles, the reality is that a Clinton administration would 1) put the nail in Alaska's natural resource coffin, and 2) coordinate with the liberal Canadian Prime Minister on [...]
