10-13-14 Federal Policies Undermine Alaska’s Enormous Energy Potential

Senate Energy and Natural Resources Committee Communications Director, Robert Dillon (NGP Photo), wrote us this morning, "The New York Times recently ran an article with a headline pronouncing the “end” of Alaska’s energy boom. The reporter focused on how economic anxiety is affecting the state’s Senate election, but in doing so, missed a critical point about Alaska’s “dwindling” production: the main reason it continues to fall is because the federal government refuses to allow access to the vast resources on federally controlled lands." Here is the NYT article, by Kirk Johnson. Below is Dillon's [...]

Retired Executive Director of the Alaska Miners Association, Steve Borell, sent this pipeline map of the troubled Ukraine today, saying, "If you want to understand this mess very quickly, just look at the map." Thank you, Steve. Clearly, Russia has leverage over Ukraine. Depriving Ukraine of energy supplies or reasonably priced energy could deal a devastating economic blow to the struggling country. The map also illustrates the importance of the United States and Canada reasonably developing their own energy resources. Energy is the building block of an economy and all [...]

10-26-13 Has Oil Tax Reform Made Alaska’s Investment Climate Half Full or Half Empty?”

Comment: Yesterday we editorialized about more evidence supporting Alaska's oil tax reform bill, including Caelus Energy's entry into Alaska partly in response to oil tax reform. Today, Alex DeMarban (NGP Photo) of the Alaska Dispatch provided a more in-depth report in which he editorialized that: "The departure of Pioneer from Alaska seems to cut into a major plank of Senate Bill 21, a huge tax cut for the state's oil producers that was supposed to help Alaska's dwindling oil fields overcome competition from booming shale deposits in Texas and North Dakota." DeMarban then quoted from a [...]
