2022 AK Senate race: on Energy & Oil


Kelly Tshibaka: Stop leftists who want to shut down oil and gas production

As your next senator, I will rebuild our economy and fight to protect the jobs of the thousands of Alaskans who work in our energy industry. We need a senator who will defend us against the leftists who want to shut down our oil and gas production and destroy our way of life. We must support and rejuvenate our small businesses and give our young people hope that they can find good jobs here at home, instead of leaving to find employment elsewhere.

Kelly Tshibaka: Speed up process for oil and gas leases in ANWR

Permitting processes for oil and gas leases on public lands are onerous and time consuming, taking years to complete. In the case of access to the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge (ANWR), federal regulatory restrictions were in place for 60 years before President Donald Trump cleared the way for energy production. Biden then suspended oil and gas leases in ANWR on his first day in office. When I'm your senator, I will call for permitting processes to be completed within a defined time frame.

Edgar Blatchford: Epicenter for climate change is rural areas of Alaska

Blatchford said Congress should be working to address climate change. "The epicenter of global climate change is in the rural areas of Alaska. It's on the North Slope. It's along the Yukon, along the Kuskokwim [river]. I, and in my lifetime, I, like anybody else who's been living in Alaska for even a short time, 10 years, can see that there are changes in climate."

Pat Chesbro: Harness the great potential for renewable energy

New products and processes can help diminish our dependence on fossil fuels for transportation, heating, and the manufacture of plastics and other disposable materials. Alaska can be a laboratory for small and localized renewable energy. I will fight for solutions that harness the great potential for renewable energy in Alaska and America.
