2020 AK Senatorial race: on Energy & Oil


Al Gross: Promote clean energy for rural Alaska; rejoin Paris accord

Gross says that he wants to bring federal resources into rural Alaska to expand clean energy programs. "There are wind and solar and tide opportunities throughout rural Alaska that are not being utilized and it should be," Gross said. "And as a Senator, I'd do everything I could to lower energy costs in rural Alaska." As a Senator, he wants to make sure the country is part of the Paris Climate Agreement again.

Al Gross: Climate change a threat: Alaska literally losing villages

I know what a serious threat climate change is to Alaska, where we are literally losing villages to the ocean. We can grow our economy while taking major steps to protect our land and water and reducing carbon emissions. In Alaska, we have enormous potential to develop wind, hydroelectric, solar, and tidal power as new energy sources. I oppose the Pebble Mine project that threatens Bristol Bay, our natural salmon fishery and the livelihood of those who live there and fish those waters.

Al Gross: Opposes Canadian mine in Alaska operation EPA would allow

The proposed Pebble mine in Bristol Bay is the epicenter of crony capitalism. After a meeting between Gov. Dunleavy and President Trump, the Environmental Protection Agency announced it is doing away with a protection that the Canadian Pebble mine operators viewed as an obstacle. Scientific evidence shows that the Pebble mine footprint will cause irreversible damage to our wild Alaska salmon population. President Trump, Gov. Dunleavy, and the corporate interests from Canada don't seem to care.
