Now more than ever before, Alaska is embracing an all-of-the-above energy portfolio that includes clean and renewable resources. Recognizing this, Gov. Mike Dunleavy recently issued a proclamation celebrating Sept. 25-29 as Clean Energy Week in Alaska.
Alaska is home to 49 of the 50 U.S.-designated critical minerals needed to power our clean energy transition and reduce reliance on foreign countries’ supply chains. The governor recognizes the economic opportunity, job creation and healthier environment that comes from embracing clean energy.
The governor’s proclamation is part of a larger celebration happening across the United States. In the nation’s capital, clean energy leaders and advocates from all perspectives will be convening to celebrate National Clean Energy Week (NCEW) and discuss innovations and policy solutions that empower America to lead the pack in reducing global emissions and securing affordable, reliable energy for all.
Thanks to Dunleavy, Alaska is an active participant in this national celebration and continues to invest in critical clean energy initiatives.
