7-10-14 Respecting The Duty To Consult

See the LNG Project's Public Meeting Schedule here. News Miner Story: Gasline Advisory Board See Senator Cathy Giessel's 5-year OCS Lease Sale Comment Letter, here. Here is how our readers can comment. Respecting both "Due Process" and the “Duty to Consult" by Dave Harbour Canada's "Duty to Consult" (1,2) and America's similar concept are not and should not be just legal requirements for natural resource companies. Consultation is a basic principle of good communications, responsible corporate citizenship, or, at the least, enlightened self interest. Bill Gallagher We have [...]

Comment: We have long held that the White House Memorandum and Executive Orders establishing and implementing a new "Ocean Policy" was one of the Administration's first acts of federal overreach. Comment: The "Rule of Law" subject appears when we discuss "Ocean Policy", but arises as a theme wherever federal regulatory powers are exercised--including with an Alaska mining project on state land. -dh Last week Pebble CEO Tom Collier spoke at the Alaska Miners Association conference in Fairbanks, updating attendees on the status of the Pebble project, discussing next steps, and addressing a major federal [...]

3-21-14 Court Weighs In On Pebble Referendum

Some Dear Readers have inquired about our travels. While we always devote hours keeping NGP current -- no matter where we are --- we do not deny opportunities for consulting, photography, general writing projects and a little personal enjoyment. Last Friday, here in Cuenca, Ecuador, we went to a nearby 'volcanic spa' after updating our pipeline projects and wrote about it on Facebook last Saturday. Here is a glimpse. Enjoy your weekend! -dh Calgary Herald by Mario Toneguzzi. A bright outlook for Alberta’s economy is being haunted by pipeline risks, [...]

Alaska Public Media by Alexandra Gutierrez. The latest version of a bill advancing a natural gas megaproject restores language concerning collective bargaining. The Senate Finance Co-Chair Pete Kelly announced on Tuesday evening that the committee will scrap the less specific language they had planned to use when dealing with labor terms. Commentary: The following post by the Pebble Project precisely reflects the editorial position we have taken for several years. We would add that the White House has no business lecturing Russia and other nations on the importance of [...]

1-23-14 – Rule of Law Comment From “On the Road” Washington D.C.

A Pebble Tossed In The Pond... ...does it simply produce ripples--or a tsunami threatening to ruin the rule of law? by Dave Harbour Ibrahim was the Lebanese cab driver who picked my son and me up at Washington's Reagan International Airport yesterday and gifted us with his view of America. We now see that U.S.. Senator Mark Begich (NGP Photo) has decided to oppose due process and the rule of law. We have not criticized Begich or anyone else for not personally supporting a particular natural resource project. We do find it [...]

6-5-13 Notes From the Road, Houston

ALERT: On Friday we editorialized about a little advertised 'listening session' planned by Federal officials tomorrow in Anchorage regarding Arctic offshore oil and gas exploration and development. In the Friday piece, we asked questions that our readers may well want to explore tomorrow. We have located this note that the agencies are 'reaching out to stakeholders'. We believe readers can be sure the Feds are talking with NGOs and groups opposed to energy developmen (i.e. Here is an example). We therefore encourage our readers to attend tomorrow's 'listening session'. [...]

8-23-11 NOAA Chief Visits Alaska “Colony”

BING Definition of Colony: "country ruled by another: a country or area that is ruled by another country". Alaska has 20% of America's land mass and 3/4 of her coastline. Most of it is under federal government control. Alaska has most of America's federally restricted lands. Less than 2% of Alaska is owned privately, other than by Alaska Native Regional Corporations. Yet, federal policies also impose restrictions on activity within state, private and Native lands. Most of America's future domestic energy and strategic minerals could come from Alaska rather than from [...]
