that he founded at Colorado State University: building consensus among wide-ranging communities for the transition to a renewable energy future.
Gov. Mike Dunleavy, a Republican, and former Gov. Bill Ritter of Colorado, a Democrat, chat just before a bill-signing ceremony starts on May 24 at the Alaska Sustainable Energy Conference. Ritter has been promoting bipartisan solutions to climate and energy problems and he was one of the main speaker at the conference.
Alaska Sen. Dan Sullivan, who addressed the conference by video, was another Republican who criticized Biden. “It is frustrating working with this administration right now because from Day One, they have been focused on limiting the production of American energy, especially in our state,” he said.Ritter, after hearing the comments from Perry and Pompeo, said they have a different “framework” than he does.
“They’re very big on trying to solve for climate. But they also have to solve for reliability of energy systems in the European Union because of the Russian invasion,” Ritter said. “Those kind of tensions, it’s actually part of what leadership is about. It’s not about pointing fingers, it’s not about saying it’s their fault, not ours. It’s really about trying to take the tensions that exist inside of these big questions and resolve those in favor of doing both things.
Overall, Jackson said, the conference provided a lot of useful and important information, but he was uncomfortable with many speakers’ embrace of natural gas. “They’re coming here, trying to sell us something instead of listening to local communities about what we need,” he said.
