\u201cAlaska\u2019s \u2018capitalism in transition\u2019 requires one final piece of legislation before reaching, arguably, the point of no return: a Renewable Portfolio Standard (RPS).\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

Alaska has no shortage of recommendations from local environmental non-governmental organizations (ENGOs) whose purpose is to implement global Malthusian degrowth.  These plans come at great cost to our future and way of life as free Alaskans.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In March of 2022, \u201cAlaska\u2019s Renewable Energy Future \u2013 New Jobs, Affordable Energy<\/a>\u201d was released, a report on behalf of the Regenerative Economies Working Group \u2013 Alaska Climate Alliance \/ Fairbanks Climate Action Coalition<\/a>. Imagining themselves as Alaska\u2019s overlords, the study examined<\/p>\n\n\n\n

the potential for 100% clean renewable energy to replace fossil fuels energy in Alaska by 2050 and its attendant benefits including more jobs, lower energy prices, higher energy security and the potential for renewable resources to support the equitable transition to hydrogen-based fuels for the aviation and maritime industry.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n
