"Make it Monday" forum - Alaska at an Energy Crossroads
Affordable energy is the lifeblood of any thriving economy. Today, Alaska's largest utilities are poised to make crucial decisions about where the Railbelt gets the energy it needs for homes, business and industry. Mr. Rose will talk about some of the energy issues facing the Railbelt today, including the region's heavy dependence on Cook Inlet natural gas, which is currently more than twice as expensive as natural gas in the Lower 48. Mr. Rose will also talk about the vast, stably-priced renewable energy resources in the region, and the barriers to developing them.
