5-9-18 Hendrix Moves To Alaska’s Private Sector, In Part

John Hendrix (photo) was hired to advise Gov. Bill Walker on oil and gas matters and give the governor some cover in an area where he badly needs credibility. That was nearly two years ago. Now, Hendrix is heading for the exit. Some had been courting him to run for governor himself, but instead, he's found a landing at NANA. See Must Read Alaska story here. P.S. Here's a clip from Governor Walker's press release. We'll be interested to see how this works out. ("Mr. Hendrix will continue working with the [...]

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 [...]

4-24-18 Important Reader Comment

We appreciate the lucid and studied comments of our readers, including this one reflecting our last Friday's editorial: Author: Donald M. Bullock Jr. URL: https://northerngaspipelines.com/4-20-18-should-alaskan-politicians-align-their-states-future-with-communist-chinas/ Comment: Very well written Mr. Harbour. It is painful watching the Alaska Gasline Development Corporation (AGDC) going down the same unproductive path as the dead Alaska Gasoline Port Authority (AGPA). At this time, AGDC has no gas to sell. The State of Alaska also has no gas to sell until those lessees that have the exclusive right to produce the gas actually produce and convey [...]

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 [...]
