The Four Es
We as Alaskans accept our moral responsibility to be careful stewards of the spectacular natural environment that provides for our unique way of life. We believe that a sound economy and a sound environment go hand in hand and that Alaska would be well served to move away from a boom and bust economy and toward a more sustainable future supporting viable communities from Ketchikan to Barrow. The path to this future lies in following these four E’s – Environment, Energy, Economy and Ethics.
Alaska's Energy Options
Whether it is rural Alaskans coping with $8 gallon diesel, Fairbanks residents struggling with burdensome increases in home heating oil or Juneau residents coping with an avalanche-induced energy crisis, Alaskans across the state are feeling the pain of high energy costs. Fortunately, rising oil prices also means rising revenues to the State of Alaska and as such the State can provide a path to reduced monthly bills and long-term energy security.
ACA's Position Paper on the Alaska Natural Gas Pipeline
ACA believes that the United States and the world must actively pursue the development and integration of new energy sources that are clean and renewable in order to strengthen the US economy, reduce dependence of foreign sources of energy, and to reverse global climate change that is threatening our way of life. Alaska is in a unique position to help shape the energy future of the US while maintaining Alaska’s prosperity. Integral to Alaska retaining its position as an energy state is the urgent need to begin developing and investing in renewable energy projects throughout Alaska; from geothermal in the Aleutians to wind in the Arctic.
