Exposing Alaska’s Green New Deal (Part I)
By Kassie Andrews -- May 28, 2025Ed. Note: Alaska policymakers are selling out the state’s hydrocarbon abundance for a Green New Deal foisted by special interests that do not have consumers, taxpayers, or prosperity in mind. Trump Administration Officials visiting Alaska in two weeks are warned by energy expert Kassie Andrews in two parts (Part II tomorrow).
