Description

Alaska lawmakers are back in Juneau for a third special session, pushing for a massive property tax break to make the $55 billion Alaska LNG project viable—but success looks unlikely as leaders admit it’s a “long shot.” While the project promises energy security, jobs, and global markets, key questions remain unanswered: who’s financing it, who’s buying the gas, and what happens if it stalls? Glenfarne hasn’t shared full financials, and lawmakers are demanding clarity on tax revenue, infrastructure costs, and consequences for missed deadlines. Complicating matters, the gas line debate is tangled with corporate tax fights, and Governor Dunleavy’s political capital is depleted after repeated clashes. The consensus? Pause, let a new governor take office in December, and return in January with a clean slate—Glenfarne must lay out its numbers, and lawmakers must untangle the issues to finally move forward.

Charter School Blocked by Local Power | Anchorage News

A charter school in Fairbanks, cleared by the state to open this fall, was blocked by the local school district’s legal delays—pushing past the deadline and sparking debate over local control versus state authority. The district’s courtroom battles ultimately halted the school’s launch, setting the stage for a pivotal school board election in October that could reshape how charter schools and local districts navigate power and policy in Alaska.

Eleven Million Tons of Plastic in Oceans | Anchorage News

New research reveals a staggering 11 million metric tons of plastic enter our oceans yearly—mostly via rivers in Asia. Scientists analyzed over a thousand rivers to pinpoint the biggest contributors, offering a clearer map for targeted cleanup. The damage to marine life and ecosystems is severe, with microplastics infiltrating the food chain and posing unknown long-term risks to human health. But there’s hope: countries with stronger waste management systems are already seeing reductions. This study is a global wake-up call demanding urgent cooperation and innovation to protect our oceans before it’s too late.
