Governor Dunleavy, 16 Others, Get it Right: Biden’s EOs are Killing Jobs

February 24, 2021

On Monday, Alaska’s Governor Mike Dunleavy joined sixteen other state leaders in signing a letter to President Biden, urging that he withdraw his January 27^th Executive Order banning new oil and gas development on federal lands and in offshore waters.

Alaska’s already seeing the impacts of the new administration, and a ban on new leases has exceptional impacts on Alaska’s energy future.

Governor Dunleavy, joining the governors of Alabama, Arizona, Arkansas, Idaho, Indiana, Mississippi, Missouri, Montana, Nebraska, North Dakota, Oklahoma, South Dakota, Tennessee, Texas, Utah and Wyoming in the letter, understands the federal government’s actions could cripple Alaska’s economy, kill jobs and leave Alaskan families suffering.

Regardless of what the Biden administration’s spin sounds like, it is clear that the 17 governors are concerned about their states’ energy workers in the hyper-eco-zealot-supported policies coming from Washington, D.C.

Power The Future appreciates Governor Dunleavy – and the other 16 states’ leaders – recognizing this, and supports their efforts to overturn this burdensome order.
