Alaska’s disaggregated and decentralized energy market enables a whole bunch of on-the-ground innovation and experimentation.

No one has a crystal ball. Preserving optionality, flexibility and diversity in supply is a smart strategy given future uncertainties.

It is time to think outside the box and continue with the pioneering spirit that has served the state so well.

While passage of the Energy Act of 2020 was critical, there is still much work to be done.

OPINION: Rural Alaska has much to contribute to Arctic development -- and both an expertise and continuing need for cheap, sustainable energy supply.
