Great, hopeful, article. Distributed storage of excess wind energy. Add to that distributed storage in hybrid EV’s. https://www.newsminer.com/features/sundays/community_features/renewable-energy-lessons-learned-from-niche-markets-in-rural-alaska/article_b4c62c14-16de-11ee-91b7-373182bfcedf.html

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

Next up, let elect Dave Bronson out of the Mayor’s office. Who’s ready to start getting out the vote!
Pack the court.

So let me get this straight. The Supreme Court is only supposed to take cases where there is a real injury and real controversy, but it took the case of a web designer who faked a request by a gay customer for a website design? The guy was actually straight, married and with kids?

Vacate this case.

We've all had a day or two to process what the Supreme Court just did.

The battle for our country and for the rule of law, not of oligarchs, lies ahead of us. Let us recommit to it now, and with grave determination resolve to turn this tide back in 2024.

I am ready. Are you?

We’re looking for volunteers. If you have a skill you’d like to put to work electing Democrats, let us know.
Good piece by Chris Constant on the devastating effects of the Republican leadership of Alaska defunding assistance for homelessness. https://www.adn.com/opinions/national-opinions/2023/07/01/opinion-solving-anchorage-homelessness-will-take-more-than-local-funding/
OPINION: Solving Anchorage homelessness will take more than local funding

The burden for solving homelessness is being placed on municipal taxpayers and the funds we have available under the tax cap.

“Some of her most inflammatory remarks involved Alaska Natives, according to Cole. “She said, ‘I worked in an Alaska Native village. If it wasn’t for the white man and his oil money, they’d still be raping their daughters in caves.’” (A reporter for Alaska Public Media asked Eledge about this comment in May 2022. Eledge replied that she wouldn’t “honor the request by responding” to the question.)”

In Secret Recording, a Top City Library Official Calls Alaska Natives “Woke” and “Racists”

Despite Judy Eledge’s history of inflammatory comments and social media posts, Alaska’s governor has awarded her public money and a national role. What’s more, city and state agencies meant to protect Alaskans’ civil rights have been hamstrung.

Another example of the caliber of people that Bronson and Dunleavy support and surround themselves with.

Depressingly not even a particularly surprising revelation at this point.
