When we talk about Alaska’s energy potential – we are talking about more than molecules in the ground or development projects. We’re talking about a true cornerstone of American prosperity and a valuable tool for national security.

President Trump’s ambition to make the United States as energy independent as possible has helped give Alaska the recognition it deserves as one of America’s most strategic assets. A fifth the size of the contiguous United States, America’s “Last Frontier” boasts an abundance of oil and gas reserves, critical minerals, and an Arctic coastline of ever-growing importance.

America’s economic future hinges on energy security, supply chain resilience, and strategic investment in infrastructure. As global markets shift and federal policymakers seek solutions to boost U.S. competitiveness, Alaska has implemented policies that enhance economic resilience, attract investment, and solidify our role as a key driver of national growth.

The Alaska Sustainable Energy Conference kicked off Tuesday with a series of high-level panels and presentations, but it was the lunchtime session — moderated by Gov. Mike Dunleavy — that stole the show.

In his first hours back in office, President Trump signed a series of executive orders aimed at unlocking Alaska’s resource potential. This signaled to the world what many Alaskans have long known: The road to American prosperity, security and global leadership runs through the 49th state.
