Task Force on a Comprehensive Energy Plan
In legislation passed by the Alaska House (HCR 1) AkPIRG was named to a Task Force desgined to plan for Alaska’s future energy needs. Alaska has never had such a body, and AkPIRG will work to represent consumers among nearly a dozen industry representatives. AkPIRG will work to ensure that cheap, reliable and environmentally friendly energy is available to Alaskans. In addition to ensuring that Alaskans will be able to benefit from North Slope natural gas, AkPIRG will promote the alternative energy successes of our circumpolar neighbors as well as the successes that have already helped Alaska’s economy and environment.
