Practical Affordable Energy

I support the goal of an instate natural gas pipeline system, bringing gas from … the North Slope, the Interior, Cook Inlet ... to Alaskans. I prefer that the private companies build and operate this pipeline. Alaska government may need to help out with some financial support but government should not own or operate this.

I support continued export of natural gas to Asian markets through the Nikiski LNG plant.

At the same time, I am very happy that we are making progress on a large hydroelectric dam on the Susitna River.

Affordable energy for our families, communities and businesses.
That's what makes it possible for all of us to live here.

Businesses can't function, create jobs and an economy, without affordable energy.

Will energy be "cheap"? Living in the Arctic (Alaska is part of the Arctic) is never cheap or easy! But with development of our resources, we can provide ourselves with less expensive energy … and export some to the world!
