RENEWABLE ENERGY WITH LUNCH
Lunch today included a serving of information about electricity from wind energy throughout Alaska and the nation. This was especially interesting to me, because only a week ago I visited Fire Island to learn about Chugach Electric's wind power plans on the island.
I was surprised to learn there was an energy producing windmill at Kotzebue, where I had been stationed in 1964-1965.
Other legislators at the briefing were Senator Fred Dyson, and Representatives Ethan Berkowitz, Max Gruenberg, Harry Crawford, and Berta Gardner.
I think alternative sources of energy - like wind, tidal changes, geothermal, hydrogen - needs serious consideration. The more varied the sources of energy the safer we are. Development of renewable energy should not be a partisan issue.
However, for the far foreseeable future, none of these so-called renewable energy sources will replace the need for oil and gas development. We must open ANWR and build an appropriate gas pipeline that best serves Alaska - and the sooner the better.
