11-2-17 ALERT FOR TODAY: MOSTLY FOR AMERICANS!

AIDEA approves sale of LNG plant to Fairbanks gas utility, Alaskajournal.com -- IGU demands changes to Pentex deal -- AIDEA rules to keep on trucking to natural gas-starved Fairbanks -- Pipe dream – Craig Medred N.W.T. premier issues 'red alert' on 'colonial' attack on territory's oil and gas future. Premier Bob McLeod (NGP Photo by Dave Harbour) says it is offensive and patronizing for southern Canadians to tell northerners they can't benefit from oil and gas development because it's time to save the planet. Our Friends at Resource Development Council for Alaska alert us that TODAY: [...]

10-31-17

U.S. A note this morning from our Mid-Atlantic energy analyst friend: We have written a few notes in the past year about the new arenas for potential gas-on-gas competition in markets that previously were potentially underserved. This is a normal capitalist result of easy money, large resource volumes, and relatively free regulatory constraints. We have identified the period 2016 to about 2023 as the period of infrastructure for the natural gas markets. With so many moving parts involved in the production, transportation, and end use of the resource being undertaking simultaneously, it [...]

10-30-17 Propaganda by any other name is still propaganda!

Continued from Wednesday.... Пропагaндa By Any Other Name Is Still Propaganda Propaganda: Information, especially of a biased or misleading nature, used to promote a political cause or point of view By Dave Harbour "A rose by any other name would smell as sweet...." In Romeo and Juliet, Shakespeare truly observed that “A rose by any other name would smell as sweet.” We introduce this theme today to study, along with our readers, one way in which Alaska’s government appears to be using propaganda to enhance its agenda. * [...]

10-26-17 An Alaska Energy Outrage?

An Alaska Energy Outrage? Read And Weep. News Miner. "...wanted to make sure the IGU is truly doing its due diligence in purchasing Pentex from AIDEA. She believes “the entire community is going to be on the hook” for the success of the Pentex purchase." By Dave Harbour Since the commentary below is from an anonymous Fairbanks citizen, we invite any reader with contrary or supplementary facts to add them below. We print this unsolicited viewpoint in the interest of public dialogue and because his general understanding of issues [...]

10-24-17 Alaska Gasline Development Corporation Rests Hopes On “Letters of Intent”

Alaska Gasline Development Corporation (AGDC) Hopes Rest On "Letters of Intent" We would offer a comment that "LOIs" -- especially those with long terms and huge uncertainties and many conditions -- are not very useful. They are not relatively straight forward gas sales contracts with take-or-pay or ship-or-pay provisions. LOIs can be called, "binding", but an "agreement to maybe agree someday" is full of problems no matter what you call it. In short, more public money should not be poured into this socialized, politically-controlled, bureaucrat-run LNG/800 mile pipeline scheme [...]

Northern Gas Pipelines photo by Dave Harbour ...we will draw attention to the enormous waste and foolish decision making accompanying the subsidized, so-called Interior Energy Project: a misguided and uneconomic effort to provide 'affordable' gas to the Fairbanks area.

TODAY IS THE DEADLINE FOR COMMENT AND WE SHALL MAKE COMMENTING EASY FOR OUR READERS RIGHT HERE, RIGHT NOW! -DH Dear Friends: This is about the State of Alaska's right to lease land to the Pebble Partnership for exploration of minerals.

Normally We Don't... This UN leader's objective: kill capitalism ...promote solicitations. Today is an exception. We have reported and editorialized extensively on the highly organized socialized movement to destroy capitalism and, in the United States and Canada, our principal economic foundation: fossil fuel exploration, production, transportation, refining, power generation and manufacturing. So today we bring you, below, an unaffiliated advertisement of a good American dedicated to identifying and challenging the socialist onslaught. As supporters of reasonable resource development, focused on the oil & gas and mining sectors, [...]

10-13-17 Unhappy Case Histories: Canadians and Americans Can Learn From Each Other

Representative Rob Bishop, courtesy Civil Services. Yesterday, President Donald Trump announced the nomination of Kathleen Hartnett White to chair the Council on Environmental Quality (CEQ). Chairman Rob Bishop released the following statement: “Kathleen Hartnett White is a great choice to help the administration realign priorities at CEQ. Over the past eight years, this executive office has attempted to use the National Environmental Policy Act as a tool to stonewall any project with a federal nexus. I look forward to working with her on a long overdue streamlining of [...]

10-12-17 Your Northern Energy Update

Warning: Alaska treads troubled economic waters in the middle of a fiscal storm. Politicians are making the financial crisis worse by creating state subsidies and ratepayer risks. The story below again reminds us of the Administration's payoff to Interior Alaska supporters via a subsidized Fairbanks gas utility (i.e. when South Central's Enstar customers paid for their own). Not to mention the otherwise uneconomic Fire Island wind generation project and an infeasible Alaska LNG\pipeline scheme. Note how two local politicians in the story below are discussing a strategy for squeezing [...]

10-6-17 Friday’s Much Ado About Energy … And Politics!

The Energy World Under President Trump For the energy scholars among us, this Reuters article has it all: from oil & gas to coal, Paris climate change accord, and alternative energy. While we respect the research and statistics, we could call into question some of the journalism that leans leftward. With that caveat, it is a piece worth maintaining in our archives and a ready reference for those of you who will be giving speeches in the near future. We say, "near future" because the energy landscape is constantly [...]
