(See our mid-Atlantic energy analyst friend's Venezuela commentary next story below) With Competent Leadership Alaska's Future Could Still Be Prosperous by Dave Harbour Alaska brings in less than half the price for oil needed to have a current balanced budget. Up to 90% dependent on oil revenue, the state has worked itself into a $3-4 billion annual budget deficit. State leaders seeking the 'easy way out' are funding the deficit by taking money from the next generation. How? They are depleting savings accounts and passing on tax credit obligations to [...]

8-15-16 Alaskans and Canadians Will Ignore The Need To Be Competitive AT THEIR PERIL

We are indebted to our anonymous, Mid Atlantic energy advisor for providing the important analysis below. It demonstrates why some producers may be subsidizing continuing operations to support cash flow demands -- on the hope that prices will rise in time to rebuild the financial strength of those producers. One notes with concern that Alaskan and Canadian oil and gas operations have special difficulty with low price environments. Most of their competitors operate in areas closer to markets, with lower labor costs, lower transportation costs, lower logistical costs and lower [...]

Our Aussie Energy Analyst friend evaluates the Alaska LNG project: NOW IS NOT THE TIME.

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.
