Bill Walker on Welfare & Poverty

Unacceptable that so many Alaskans wake up in a cold house

If Alaska was a country, we'd be among the top eight energy producers in the world and yet we have the highest cost of energy in the nation. We can and must do better.

This administration has made it a priority to reduce energy costs at state-owned and public buildings, including schools. Increasing energy efficiency will allow state dollars to be better concentrated on the services provided.

Every growing economy in the world has one thing in common, and that is low-cost energy. This administration will not rest until Alaska is squarely on the road to becoming an economic powerhouse thanks to low-cost energy that will bolster and diversify our economy.
