When it comes to developing Alaska’s private-sector energy industry, certain members of Alaska’s Senate majority have misunderstood or misrepresented the Alaska Gasline Development Corporation’s plans.

The western Prince William Sound town of Whittier is small, with only about 250 residents packed into a narrow slice of land between the mountains and the sea.

On a warm July afternoon near Fairbanks, a volunteer with the Alaska Bee Atlas kneels beside a patch of blooming fireweed, gently sweeping a net through the air.

A few months from now, if developers of the proposed trans-Alaska natural gas pipeline move forward with the project, they will ask Alaskans for something between a few hundred million and a billion and a half dollars.

Permafrost usually hits the news as a hazard; a planetary risk. When this ice-rich ground thaws, it damages roads and building foundations. It drains lakes and tips trees into drunken forests. It releases greenhouse gases that have been locked in carbon-rich soils for thousands of years, amplifying warming, driving further thaw. These are serious concerns, […]

Last month, a confidential draft agreement between the Alaska Gasline Development Corporation and Glenfarne leaked. It shows why AGDC is so reluctant to make the details public: The Alaska LNG project could be a financial black hole for Alaska, at a time when the state is struggling to keep schools open and roads maintained. The […]

These moments — quiet, delicate, and easily overlooked — reveal just how finely tuned Alaska’s native bees are to the rhythms of the North. But those rhythms are […]
The intense marine heat wave conditions that began roiling the Bering Sea in about 2016 resulted in the lowest winter sea ice extent measured in 150 years, widespread bird and marine mammal die-offs, a drastic shift in fish populations and a crash of snow crab stocks. Now new research is tying the marine heat wave […]
