Lest We Forget: 9-11 REMEMBRANCE OF GAS PIPELINES POLITICAL PIPEDREAMS: LEST WE FORGET! by Dave Harbour Maybe history teaches that political pipedreams don't work so well. Would it not be wise to learn from our past? Would it not be logical to offer support and not hostile dictates to private sector investors -- for a change -- so that they might realistically conform energy exploration, production, development, transportation, marketing and distribution hopes to the realism of private sector expertise, science-based planning, decision-making agility, competition-inspired efficiency, volatile market [...]

8-3-16 We Find The Alaska Governor’s Position Wanting

Dear Reader: Alaska Governor Bill Walker. NGP File Photo by Dave Harbour Today we add our note to the story below: We find the state's position wanting. If Alaska governor Bill Walker's predecessor governors wished to demand competitive producer information, they would have put that demand in the original Prudhoe Bay Lease Sale -- and future lease sale -- requirements. Adding requirements -- especially those that violate federal laws -- after a lease sale, after investors pay their bonus bids, after exploration and development and construction of [...]

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. Alberta, he said, has to find new markets in Asia for its oil, and the only way it can do that is by redefining the province “as an environmental leader.” CBC. TransCanada is launching an aggressive campaign to get public support and recruit "advocates" for its Energy East pipeline. Documents obtained by Greenpeace and shared [...]

7-24-14 Keeping Oil Tax Reform Sustains Alaska

Alaska Dispatch by Jonathan Katchen. Much of the discussion surrounding our oil taxes is driven by emotion and ideology instead of facts. Most Alaskans want a vibrant oil industry that generates good paying jobs, keeps the oil flowing for years to come and provides Alaskans with a fair share of revenue. Here’s why voting to repeal SB 21 will jeopardize these goals.
