Exposing Alaska’s Green New Deal (Part II)
By Kassie Andrews -- May 29, 2025
Editor’s Note: Trump Administration beware! This two-part backgrounder warns DOE Secretary Chris Wright, Interior Secretary Doug Burgum, and EPA Administrator Lee Zeldin that their June 3, 2025, participation at Governor Mike Dunleavy’s fourth annual Sustainable Energy Conference is a set-up for Alaska’s Green New Deal. A course reversal for this state’s energy policy is in order.
Part II walks through my own testimony (Part I) against Alaska’s proposed Renewable Portfolio Standard; the hoops I had to jump through just to get my written remarks added to the public record; and the telling exchange I had with one of the main activists pushing this nonsense. Spoiler: there’s been no official response or acknowledgement to the damning context they asked for—just the usual dodge-and-disappear routine.
After checking the Alaska Legislature website under the bill documents, I discovered my testimony was not posted. This is not the first time I had witnessed this on testimony opposing legislation this session. I followed up to house.energy@akleg.gov, cc’ing Rep. Ky Holland
May 7th, 2025: Subject: FW Opposition to HB 153
I am writing to respectfully note that my opposition letter does not appear to have been included in the public documents for HB 153. I submitted it on April 12th and would appreciate confirmation that it was received and properly entered into the record.
Thank you for your attention to this matter. Sincerely, Kassie Andrews
