Alaskans deserve real solutions. "Instead of trying to prop up a dirty, dying industry, the federal and state governments should pursue opportunities to develop renewable energy and stop new fossil fuel developments like Alaska LNG." commondreams.org/opinion/bid…

Why Are Biden Officials Like Rahm Emanuel Touting False LNG Solutions? | Common Dreams

This geopolitical security plea for the Alaska LNG project ignores the Biden administration’s commitment to a 1.5°C aligned pathway to limit climate change and global warming.

As we sat together behing the City of Valdez yesterday, it was easy to see the trajectory of this case. The people will win. Not the corporations and their regulatory buddies. And a precedent of transparency will be set in this process. #spillsecretsnotoil adn.com/business-economy/ene…

Judge Carney: “there hasn’t been a case like this.” The BP attorney, could not argue that there has never been a large transfer to a private corporation like this ever before. #spillsecretsnotoil #spillcorp @AKPIRG

Hilcorp/Harvest’s attorney argues that Valdez cannot rely on its standing because they didn’t mention constitutional harm in its complaints with the RCA. But as one of the Supreme Court judges stated, the RCA cannot rule on constitutional issues.

Robin Brena just addressed the RCA’s approval of the BP to Hilcorp transfer as a case that did not use rational decision making. The financial basis is unknowable and the decision relied on secret record. The RCA has refused to release the documents.

The attorney for Valdez states, “It came as a shock that such a massive case was handled in secret closed door meetings.” #spillsecretsnotoil
