The only problem: to win in Alaska, you have to be pro-oil
Can someone educate me if I am way off base, but wouldn’t Alaska be a great location for some renewable energy sources? I didn’t do much research but I found this article that suggests the same thing.
There are six significant renewable energy resources in the Last Frontier: wind, hydro, geothermal, biomass, solar, and marine hydrokinetic.
If a Biden administration really does invest what his Biden/Bernie task force suggests in renewables, wouldn’t Alaska be one the biggest beneficiaries of this energy shift?
That theoretically
could someday be the case. But for the foreseeable future, oil is the political power in Alaska, both in terms of Rob votes for the number of jobs and campaign dollars it raises.
