President Donald Trump issued an executive order to create a new energy council, which could affect energy costs and jobs in Alaska.
The new executive order establishes the National Energy Dominance Council to enhance U.S. energy production and infrastructure. The Council will advise the President on strategies to increase energy production, including the construction of natural gas pipelines to Alaska.
This initiative aims to improve Alaska’s energy supply and infrastructure, potentially impacting local energy costs and job creation.
The Council will work to streamline permitting processes and reduce regulatory barriers to facilitate energy projects.
Alaska’s inclusion in the national energy strategy highlights its role in the broader U.S. energy landscape.
Local stakeholders, including state and tribal governments, will be consulted to provide feedback on energy expansion efforts.
