You have 2 investment options:Probably a good thing that production has been on the increase the last few years since SB-21 was passed. Which incouraged companies to rework older wells. As new technology allows for better extraction technologies.
The petroleum industry plays a big part in Alaskas economy. And Dunlevy is correct when stating that continually changing the tax structure increases risk in development.
There is 30% more wildlife in the arctic now than before oil n gas development. With private industry providing a lot of valuable information with our government biologists.
Yes congress approved funding to go clean up the abandoned wells that were drilled by our federal government.
The local native corporation are some of the richest in the world.
The permanent fund dividend was mentioned. Politicians have tried to take this fund for a long time. A fund that could put 3 billion dollars cash into the local economies. And our university think tank says what have the highest economic value to our state. Many claiming that if the government doesn't have access to spend it the state will go broke. We just have to have more money for more government. Well the fact is the people have continued to so no. And the state government hasn't disintegrated. And the legislature could put the 3 billion in the budget Dunlevy requested. Like the 82% of the public asked them to do.
Anyhows, for me , having the most reliable energy available done in an invironment friendly way is best. A good job is important in life. Our daughter is up there now. 60 below windchill.
I've watched our state grow for many years. I'm an avid outdoors person. Mostly just a guy raising my family n trying to enjoy life. My consensus is that less government is best. I don't need to be saved from myself anymore. I don't mind dirt roads. And know it snows in AK.
And I'll be just fine
1. Spend $1000 and in 10 years you get $1500
2. Spend $1000 and get $2000 in 6 months.
Which do you pick?
