As he has in the past, Gov. Mike Dunleavy is an invited speaker at CERA Week in Houston, Texas, where he will be joining the stage with Daniel Yergin, the chairman of the conference that is part of S&P Global.
Dunleavy appears on stage on the conference’s final day, Friday, 14 March at 8:40 am Alaska time in a session titled, “Leadership Dialogue: Alaska and the world.”
Last year during the conference, Dunleavy urged the Biden administration to update and streamline the US mine permitting process. This year, he is likely to focus on the Alaska LNG gasline that President Donald Trump is eager to get built and that has long been a priority for Alaska.
This year’s conference themes include energy transition strategies, technological advancements, and geopolitical factors influencing energy markets. Discussions have naturally been influenced by President Donald Trump’s energy policies, the integration of artificial intelligence in energy consumption, and the evolving dynamics of global energy strategies. The conference is considered to be the cutting edge for thought leaders from the different sectors of the energy industry.
Why? Comic relief?
If just a fraction of all the money spent on talk over the past 40 years had been spent on pipelines, we’d be burning North Slope gas throughout the railbelt, shipping propane throughout the Yukon drainage, and selling LNG in east Asia by now. All of this struggle has been about who profits and who doesn’t. Now we’re in a situation where we have to ship in LNG from Canada to Nikiski in order to keep our homes warm. This is corruption. Mismanagement. Outrageous.
