All too often, our elected leaders are democratically elected but then abandon the people either in pursuit of greater power, or–rather than resist the relentless pressure from unelected bureaucrats–they succumb to it. In Alaska, voters fortunately have a choice: we seize the opportunities we have built for ourselves and lead the world, or we bow to foreign powers.
In his book Technocracy: The Hard Road to World Order, Robert Wood describes the hijacking of American’s altruistic concern for the environment by those seeking to destroy America. Stating that the modern anti-carbon movement has “little regard for nature or people”, he exposes the roots of a global agenda to wipe out American success–which is the Trilateral Commission through the United Nations. The United Nations has become, in his words, “… a proxy for this group and the universal driving force to implement its policies.” We know these policies all too well because they are written down for the world to see. The problem is, our leaders are becoming unwitting “apologists” for our wealth-creating economy, and abdicating to foreign influence.
Governor Dunleavy, for example, is by most accounts a conservative and popular Governor, but what is he doing? His policies are showcased in the inaugural Alaska Standard Sustainability Report. The UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) are front and center of his policies and lays the foundation for his energy programs in our great state. During his 2023 State of the State, he lamented the “billionaires from Davos” use Alaska as their playground. Yet, after the roll out of the Alaska Sustainability Report in May of 2023, Governor Dunleavy was invited by these same billionaires to visit Berlin, Germany. In front of a crowd of private equity investors he gave the keynote address during the Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) Summit describing the Alaska State Constitution as the Alaska Standard. He states “the Alaska Standard was ratified by the people of Alaska in 1959. When Alaska drew up its constitution it became a state long before the recent standard based movements we know by acronyms as ESG, SDG, and DEI came along. In ’59 we put much of what we talk about today in our constitution … we also hear a lot about sustainability and Alaska was ahead of the world when the framers of our constitution took this into account as well!” Simply put, our conservative Republican Governor is advocating for ESG in a foreign country on behalf of an oil producing US state. A political oxymoron if there ever was one!

Make no mistake, there is nothing sustainable about the United Nations SDGs. In a heavy, carbon production and utilization state, there is no such thing as net zero either. Just as we saw with the COVID pandemic, the rules can be changed, the data can be manipulated, and ambiguity in interpretation leaves too much latitude for an ‘expert’ to weigh in with no accountability. Carbon and CO2 are vital elements to the flourishing of life. To claim that reducing carbon for the sake of the climate is a lie and needs to be stopped.
The Alaska Legislature had their chance to stop the lie in 2023 but let revenue get in the way of critical thinking. With the allure that “some experts claim we could make billions of dollars” the Alaska Legislature removed the speed bumps for Governor Dunleavy to implement the Sustainable Development Goals in Alaska initially via a Carbon Offset Program. This legislation allows an entity to lease state forest land for a period up to 55 years so a company can pollute somewhere else on the planet. Even worse, the Native Corporations were presented as a model example of the millions of dollars they make on Carbon Offsets. They now lease their land for an indeterminate period of time to companies like Meta and Google. What would the Sealaska Shareholders say about the carbon offset revenues?
Fast forward to today and this upcoming legislative session. The Department of Natural Resources will likely make one more attempt at some unfinished business to pass a version of their ‘Storage Bill’ for the purpose of Carbon Sequestration. There will be rehashed discussions on the economic benefit of capturing carbon from the air or from the natural gas production and storing it in the ground. The claim is that companies want to store their carbon here and if they cannot they will take their money elsewhere. It’s funny to listen to these titans of industry make this claim to learn that the only financial incentive a company has to pursue carbon sequestration is the 45Q Federal Tax Credit. Not a business driver to increase oil production but a federal tax credit that is paid on a per ton basis of carbon dioxide injected.
An important reminder to the citizen, the carbon offset legislation included a provision to advance the application for Class VI well primacy from the EPA, an amendment snuck in at the last minute. Legislators and lobbyists argued that Alaska needs primacy for Class VI wells, which are for geologic storage only by the way, to store CO2. However, if a company wanted to inject CO2 today, they can apply to the EPA on their own for geologic storage. More importantly, they can also take advantage of the primacy Alaska has for Class II wells which are customarily used for enhanced oil recovery. These companies know and as was presented during the last session, the 45Q is due to run out January 1, 2033. Time is of the essence if a company is to pursue carbon sequestration for the gold rush of tax credits. The obvious questions should be, why are we not doing enhanced oil recovery with our CO2 today? Are federal tax credits for sequestration more profitable than producing oil using enhanced oil recovery?
These are simple questions that have yet to be answered. Alaskans should also know that the legislature didn’t believe it was necessary for any of the revenues to be set aside in the Permanent Fund for the benefit of the people. Senator Jesse Kiehl of Juneau even stated that if “the CO2 is stored in trees, the trees are a replenishable resource… and we don’t put money from replenishable resources in to the Permanent Fund.”

Now, Alaskans are left with entities, foreign to the state leasing public lands for 55 years, through a third party where the legislature has no regulatory oversight, to store a “worthless” substance in our trees and under our lands, for what? If that is not enough, the discussion of a gas shortage in the Cook Inlet should raise eyebrows. Are the experts that claim we will make billions off of low or no carbon resources the same experts evaluating the reserves in the Cook Inlet?
Citizens may be thinking that this is all too crazy to be connected in any way but go back to the beginning of this story. Climate change will be the mechanism by which a fundamental transformation of the forms of commerce will take place, namely through ESG. If the United Nations were a proxy to implementing the policies of the Trilateral Commission, is Governor Dunleavy a proxy to implementing David Rubensteins policies on Capitalism in Transition?

The first lease sale in the National Petroleum Reserve-Alaska in seven years became the most successful auction in the area ever, as oil majors bid on hundreds of tracts, signaling they haven’t given up on Alaska’s petroleum resources despite development and court challenges.
This week’s oil and gas lease sale for the National Petroleum Reserve in Alaska, one of five mandated in the next decade under the Trump Administration’s One Big Beautiful Bill Act (OBBBA), drew a record high of $163.7 million in high bids and resulted in 187 leases in total, awarded to companies including ExxonMobil, ConocoPhillips, and a consortium of Repsol and Shell subsidiaries.
The lease sale set a record for Alaska with the most revenue generated ever, the most tracts receiving bids, and the second most acreage sold in a single sale, the Bureau of Land Management said.
The BLM offered 625 tracts across about 5.5 million acres for bid in the sale, revived at the end of last year by the Trump Administration. No lease sales were held in the National Petroleum Reserve in Alaska under President Biden.

In the first sale since 2019, a total of 11 companies submitted bids on 187 tracts covering 1,334,967 acres.
The Trump Administration, the state of Alaska, and the local oil and gas association welcomed the results of the record-setting lease sale as a vote of confidence for Alaska’s role in American energy dominance, while environmentalists vowed to challenge any oil and gas drilling in court, the way they are already doing for the lease program itself.
The Three Companies Rebuilding America’s Rare-Earth Arsenal
“Today’s lease sale underscores the National Petroleum Reserve in Alaska’s vital role in strengthening America’s energy security while fueling economic growth across Alaska,” Secretary of the Interior Doug Burgum said.
Alaska’s Republican Governor Mike Dunleavy noted that the lease sale “reinforces Alaska’s role as a reliable energy producer, supports high-paying jobs for our families, provides additional revenue to the state, and strengthens American energy security at a time when energy security is more important than ever.”

The Alaska Oil and Gas Association and other business organizations in the state said that the “strong participation and unprecedented results underscore renewed investor confidence in Alaska’s North Slope and the state’s long-term resource potential.”
“The Trump administration deserves credit for helping restore access and certainty in the petroleum reserve, allowing industry to step forward with meaningful commitments,” said Steve Wackowski, president and CEO of the Alaska Oil and Gas Association.
“That confidence is critical to advancing responsible development of Alaska’s vast resources, supporting jobs, sustaining the Trans-Alaska Pipeline System, and strengthening U.S. national security in an increasingly uncertain world.”
The National Petroleum Reserve already hosts one massive oil development— the $9-billion Willow project by ConocoPhillips, which was approved by the Biden Administration in 2023, and is expected to start producing oil in 2029. Peak production is designed to be about 180,000 barrels per day (bpd) of crude.
Going forward, the development of any additional resources in Alaska’s National Petroleum Reserve would not be a fast and easy task. The conditions are harsher than in other areas, while environmentalists have vowed to fight both the latest lease sale and any future oil and gas drilling and development plans.

The Invisible Metals Powering a Trillion-Dollar Economy
Two groups represented by Earthjustice, the Center for Biological Diversity, and Friends of the Earth, restarted litigation last month challenging the lease sales and the underlying management plan, which opens 18.5 million acres within the 23-million-acre Reserve to potential oil and gas drilling and infrastructure.? Three other lawsuits also challenge the lease sale or decisions related to it.
“The results of this sale will spell disaster for the surrounding area,” said Hallie Templeton, Legal Director at Friends of the Earth U.S.?
“We will continue to see the Trump administration in court over its blatant disregard of federal law and complete failure to protect this vulnerable and rapidly shrinking area of our planet.”

Gov. Mike Dunleavy on Friday introduced a bill in the state Legislature that would eliminate property taxes for the Alaska LNG megaproject, but create an alternative tax that would generate a smaller amount of revenue.
Lawmakers said Friday that they were still reviewing the bill, but one said it appears to be a “massive tax cut” that could exceed $1 billion in lost potential revenue to the state.
A borough mayor also indicated that municipalities that would host project infrastructure would lose out on significant property taxes and don’t currently support the measure, though they are working with the governor’s office and project officials on options.
Dunleavy said in an interview Friday that the goal is removing a financial barrier for the project so that it can be built.

At that point, it will provide an array of long-running benefits that the state does not currently receive from the North Slope’s vast but long-stranded natural gas, he said.
That includes a large number of jobs and affordable gas for Alaskans and businesses, including to support potential new undertakings such as data farms or fertilizer manufacturing, he said.
Also, even if his bill is passed, the project still would bring in significant royalties and production taxes, he said.
Over 30 years, the project still will generate $26 billion for state and local taxes and royalty revenue, Dunleavy said, referring to figures from the Alaska Department of Revenue. An oil and gas analyst interviewed for this article questioned those numbers.
Jeff Turner, a spokesperson for the governor, said in an email that the Department of Revenue is updating its Alaska LNG analysis “to incorporate spring modeling” and will share information on those figures next week.

Dunleavy said that if nothing is built, the state gets nothing from the project.
Recent events involving the U.S. war on Iran, including Israel and Iran bombing major gas infrastructure, underscore the need for a project that can safely export gas to meet strong demand in Asia, he said.
“So it’s a catalyst to billions upon billions upon billions of dollars and decades of future (revenue), not to mention the thousands of jobs and the other economic benefits from that,” Dunleavy said of the project.
Awaiting a final investment decision
The state has unsuccessfully pursued a version of Alaska LNG for generations.
Government agencies, private developers and major oil companies have never been able to get it built. The huge price tag has been a key impediment.

Under the current plan, majority owner Glenfarne is working with the Alaska Gasline Development Corp., a state agency and 25% project owner.
Alaska LNG has preliminary but nonbinding deals in hand with gas producers and buyers. Many observers say this project is farther along than past ones that failed.
Dunleavy said he recently met with the Taiwanese ambassador, Alexander Tah-Ray Yui.
“The country is very excited about moving ahead on hard agreements, especially now,” he said, following events in the Middle East.
Glenfarne has not yet made a final investment decision to build the project, a step originally expected in December.

Phase one calls for building an 800-mile pipeline to deliver natural gas from the North Slope to Southcentral Alaska, starting in 2029.
Phase two includes construction of a plant and shipping terminal in Nikiski. At that point, vast quantities of liquefied natural gas, or LNG, can be shipped overseas to Asian companies. That would start in 2031.
Glenfarne has recently updated an old cost figure of $44 billion for the project. But the company, based in New York, has not disclosed the new estimate, as well as other financial details.
Dunleavy said it’s common for a privately led project seeking investors and customers to hold on to proprietary information.
“I think there’s going to be enough information that can be shared publicly that will give legislators enough comfort that Alaska is better off with a massive project such as this, as opposed to better off without it,” he said.

Some Alaska lawmakers, who must decide what fiscal terms they should provide the project, if any, have said Glenfarne has not given them the financial information to judge the project’s potential benefits and risks.
A big ‘buzz cut’
The governor’s new measure proposes taxing the volume of gas flowing through the pipe, rather than taxing the assessed value of the oil and gas infrastructure, the governor’s office said in a prepared statement.
The alternative tax would be 6 cents per every thousand cubic feet of gas. That tax rate would increase 1% annually.
The alternative tax would not kick in until the project reaches an average flow of 1 billion cubic feet daily or 10 years after gas starts flowing, whichever comes first.
The project, once in full production with exports to Asia, is expected to move 3.5 billion cubic feet daily.

The bill removes the front-end tax burden for the project, reducing risks for potential investors, the governor’s office said.
It creates a predictable revenue stream, unlike property tax assessments that can be challenged, his office said.
Those benefits can help result in cheaper natural gas prices for Alaskans, the statement said.
Larry Persily, an oil and gas analyst and former Alaska deputy commissioner of revenue, said the alternative tax would provide a little over $75 million in the tax’s first year, if the project moves 3.5 billion cubic feet of gas daily.
In comparison, the property tax currently on the books would bring in $1 billion annually, for a project assessed at $50 billion.

“The bill today is not even a hair cut,” Persily said.
“It’s like a buzz cut on property taxes. It’s pretty substantial,” he said.
About a decade ago, when Persily was chief of staff to former Kenai Peninsula Borough Mayor Mike Navarre, he worked with a group of municipalities that tried to determine a fair property tax for an earlier, failed version of the project.
The group realized property taxes needed to be reduced to help make the project economic against global competitors.
But they still believed some property taxes were needed to support services provided by the state and boroughs.

They looked at a reduction that would still bring in about $630 million annually in property taxes, he said.
“The question is, how much of a discount should you provide and how should you structure it, to cover costs to the municipalities for all the services they will need to provide in association with the project,” he said.
Persily also said he doesn’t think the project will generate $26 billion in state and local taxes and royalties over 30 years.
He said a key source of revenue, production taxes and royalties, are based on the sale of gas as it first comes out of the ground, when its value is expected to be low compared to what it finally sells for.
“It seems a little gold-plated,” he said of the long-term revenue estimate. “Many Alaskans feel like this will be next Prudhoe Bay. But it’s not the same as oil in terms of profitability and tax revenue.”

Sen. Bill Wielechowski, a Democrat and vice chair of Senate Resources, said early Friday that his office is still reviewing the bill.
It appears the proposal could remove more than $1 billion in annual taxes from the state, compared to current statutes, he said.
“The rough look so far is that is a massive tax cut,” he said.
Glenfarne calls for swift action
GaffneyCline, a consultant for the Alaska Legislature, has said that legislative action will likely be needed on issues such as property taxes and “fiscal stability” before the project developer can make a final decision on investment.
The consultant has said property tax relief can provide critical savings early in the life of the project when costs are high.

Adam Prestidge, president of Glenfarne Alaska LNG, said in a prepared statement Friday that the state is facing a growing energy crisis, as natural gas production from the aging Cook Inlet basin near Anchorage continues to wane.
Glenfarne has been discussing property taxes with state and local leaders with the idea of minimizing energy costs for Alaskans, Prestidge said.
“State and local policymakers including members of the legislature, independent analysts, and the legislature’s own oil and gas consultants have all recognized that reforming Alaska’s current system is a key step in advancing a North Slope natural gas project,” Prestidge said.
“Acting swiftly on this measure is the most important step the Legislature can take to ensure that Alaskans will finally benefit from bringing Alaska’s North Slope natural gas to market,” he said of the bill.
Grier Hopkins, mayor of the Fairbanks North Star Borough, said in an interview Friday that officials from his borough and others that would host some of the project’s infrastructure do not agree with the terms of the bill.

The borough officials have been meeting regularly with officials from the governor’s office, the Alaska Gasline Development Corp. and Glenfarne, he said.
“The conversations have gone well, but this is not what we agree on, and I don’t support this specifically for Fairbanks,” he said.
Only 2 miles of the pipeline will travel through the Fairbanks borough. But the proposed bill will remove about $350,000 in annual property tax revenue, based on his own rough estimate, he said.
Other boroughs would see larger reductions, such as the North Slope and Kenai Peninsula boroughs, whose boundaries would encompass some of the project’s major facilities.
The Fairbanks borough is focused on getting affordable gas from the project, he said.

“So we still need to keep working with the governor and the Legislature to come up with something that’s going to work for the municipalities, which all have really different needs,” he said.
Lawmakers looking for more project details
Senate Majority Leader Cathy Giessel, a Republican and chair of the Senate Resources Committee, told reporters this week that lawmakers have not received enough information from Glenfarne about the costs of the project.
That makes it hard to know what steps should be taken to support it, she said.
The Senate Resources Committee has introduced a bill that proposes new guidelines on the project, including allowing the Legislative Budget and Audit Committee to conduct annual audits of the Alaska Gasline Development Corp.
Among many other steps, it would allow legislators to sign non-disclosure agreements in order to receive critical financial information.
Advertisement
Giessel said in an interview Friday that the members of the committee support Alaska LNG. They want to make sure it’s properly structured to benefit Alaskans, she said.
She plans to soon call on the borough mayors to appear before the committee to provide input on the bill.
She’ll also be looking to hear from GaffneyCline and other experts about their views on the bill, she said.
“It’s great that the public can now see what the governor is proposing,” she said. “These are local taxes that are being curtailed.”
“This affects their revenue to manage a large increase in their population and a huge increase in their property use” that will come with the project, she said.

Wielechowski, the Senate Resources vice chair, said the Dunleavy administration also needs to provide details to lawmakers about the project and the bill.
“The burden is on him to come forward and explain to the people of Alaska why he needs to give away a billion dollars a year,” he said.

There isn’t much in the realm of high school, collegiate and professional basketball that Juneau’s Carlos Boozer hasn’t accomplished. He was a two-time state champion at Juneau-Douglas, a national champion at Duke University and an Olympic gold medalist during his standout professional career.
The latter of those accolades is what led to him being immortalized in the Naismith Basketball Hall of Fame. He and his fellow members of the legendary “Redeem Team” that won gold at the 2008 Olympics in Beijing were announced as part of the 2025 class in September.
“Honestly, it’s amazing when you think about the people that are in there and our group with our 2008 Olympic team. We had some studs,” Boozer said. “I’m honored to be a part of that team, and obviously, I love this game so much, so to be in a Hall of Fame is a big deal.”
Being on that 2008 Olympic roster was one of the greatest joys of his career. His peers included iconic players such as Kobe Bryant, LeBron James, Dwyane Wade and Carmelo Anthony as well as fellow stars Dwight Howard, Chris Paul, Jason Kidd and Chris Bosh.

“It was the best,” said Boozer, 44. “We just had a different aura about us. Our practices were difficult, tough and challenging. We challenged each other and it was awesome to see us come together as a team. We had our individual skills and we played against each other in the NBA, but on that team, we all became one.”
The experience was especially meaningful because the legendary Mike Krzyzewski was the team’s head coach. A decade earlier, Krzyzewski recruited Boozer from Alaska to Duke University.
“Knowing him so well, it was great to see him coach some of the best players to ever do it and watch them grow under his tutelage,” Boozer said.
Krzyzewski used the same coaching method that guided Boozer and the Blue Devils to a national title in 2001 to lead Team USA to a perfect 8-0 run and Olympic gold.
“He was able to kind of strip us down of our individual egos so that we have one collective ego,” Boozer said. “He does that better than anyone I’ve ever been around.”

Next generation adds to Boozer legacy

Boozer is a staple on the sideline of every Duke game this year, not only because he’s a proud alumnus of the perennial powerhouse program but because his twin sons, Cameron and Cayden, are star players for the top-ranked Blue Devils.
“I’m living the dream,” Boozer said. “I couldn’t be any happier for them. I know what they’re going through ,and I was super proud when they made the decision (to go to Duke) and to just watch them this year.”
Cameron is the team’s leading scorer, and Cayden is the fifth-leading scorer. They rank first and second on the team in assists.
With the Boozer twins leading the way, Duke basketball is back on top once again and primed to make a run at the national title. The Blue Devils have been the top-ranked team in the nation for several months and were the top overall seed in the NCAA tournament. They sport an overall record of 33-2 after Thursday’s opening-round scare against No. 16 Siena in which the Blue Devils had to rally from being down double figures to win 71-65.
“Cameron has been the best overall player in the country all year long and Cayden has had to step up with Caleb Foster having a broken foot,” Boozer said. “He’s been a star in his role as a sixth man off the bench, and now he’s a starting point guard and leading the No. 1 team in the country — and is doing a hell of a job at that as he helped us win the ACC tournament.”
Watching them don the same colors and uniforms he did a quarter-century ago makes him nostalgic, and even gives him chills.

“I’m just so excited for my boys because I know the weight they have to carry when they wear that jersey,” Boozer said. “Wearing a Duke uniform is like playing for the Yankees or the Lakers. It’s championships or bust.
“They’re not ducking no smoke. They want all the smoke and will play anybody anywhere,” Boozer said.

The twins considered other school options before landing on Duke. Current head coach Jon Scheyer took over the program in 2022 after Krzyzewski’s retirement.
“They were good last year too with Cooper Flagg and Kon Knueppel and that group,” Boozer said. “This just speaks to how good a coach Scheyer is: They lose their entire starting five to the NBA, and then they come back this year, my boys come, and they’re the No. 1 overall seed and No. 1 team in the country.”
Had it not been for a couple of last-minute lapses against Texas Tech in December and rival North Carolina at Chapel Hill in February, Duke would have been undefeated heading into March Madness.
“I’m super proud of what my boys have been able to accomplish and they got some super studs around them,” Boozer said. “We won the ACC tournament with seven players. That just shows you how tough this team is and how much they believe in each other.”

A man of many talents and interests

When he’s not watching his sons play basketball in person, Boozer stays close to the pro game by helping the front office of the Utah Jazz in the scouting department.
“One of the most awesome jobs that I have is trying to figure out how to resurrect our Utah Jazz program so it can compete for titles,” he said.
Boozer spent the bulk of his 13-year career in the NBA with the Jazz, from 2004 to 2010. During that time, he made both of his All-Star appearances and received All NBA honors for the 2007-08 season. He was honored when the team decided to bring him back into the fold in a new capacity just over a year ago.
“Basketball has always been my life since I was 4 years old, so I’ve always had a passion for that,” he said.
Boozer joins fellow Alaska hoops legend Trajan Langdon, who is currently the president of basketball operations for the Detroit Pistons, in making the transition from NBA players to executives.
“I just think if you have the passion, the patience (and) the determination for it, it’s best when the players are involved because we’ve walked that path and have done that before,” Boozer said. “We know what it looks like to have a good teammate and someone that’s about winning, someone that can help build a culture in your locker room.”

Before joining Utah’s front office, he had a brief stint as a reality TV star two summers ago on the Bravo dating show “Kings Court.” Boozer, supermodel Tyson Beckford and WWE legend Thaddeus Bullard — aka Titus O’Neil — were courted by 21 female contestants in an effort to find love. Boozer was one of the lucky few who did, as he and girlfriend Janaye Robinson are still together.
From the first day they met, Boozer and Robinson “hit it off right away” and will be coming up on two years together in September.
“I met an awesome woman,” Boozer said.
In addition to his work with the Jazz, Boozer owns a company called Impeccable Development that builds shopping plazas in North and South Carolina.
But being a dad to his three adult sons and a daughter, who will be 7 years old in a few weeks, is the job he’s most proud of.

“I couldn’t be any prouder to be their father,” Boozer said.
