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. Demonstrators emphasized that the project still lacks buyers, investors, and a clear economic case, yet federal officials are advancing key permits anyway. 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.
