Opinion: Glenfarne’s Alaska LNG numbers still don’t add up
To end this year’s regular legislative session on May 20, the House of Representatives couldn’t agree on a rushed property tax subsidy bill for the Alaska LNG project. In response, Gov.

Environmentalists criticize Trump administration push for new oil and gas drilling in Alaska
AP News highlights a major demonstration in Alaska where residents gathered to protest the Trump administration’s push to fast‑track the $44 billion AK LNG pipeline.

Speakers warned that rushing the pipeline forward would saddle Alaskans with huge financial risks while deepening dependence on fossil fuels. The protest underscored growing public frustration and a broad coalition demanding that the state pursue real, community‑driven energy solutions instead of propping up an expensive, uncertain megaproject.
