Don’t Forget to Write the Feds Today for Alaska’s Sake (Click Here)!

Today’s story in progress and will be released by this weekend….

This morning on CNBC Interior Secretary Ken Salazar did not focus on the tremendous domestic oil and gas potential of Alaska and the Lower 48, on- and off-shore.  Instead, he focused on three energy policy ‘drivers’: reducing dependence on foreign oil (i.e. not by producing more of our own), creating more green jobs and global warming.  The way he is approaching  this whole energy issue is perfectly consistent with the way an irresponsible Administration is proceeding as well.  I used the term, ‘crazy’, above because the totally illogical and suicidal energy policy that this country is adopting has to be that or a more devious, intentional effort to strip America of her wealth, her way of life and, indeed, her national security.  Alaska’s energy policies are also irrational.  

In short, both Alaska and America will will economically wither until dramatic energy policy reversals occur.  Let me explain.
