When @santaclausalaska.bsky.social says it’s time to close the S Corp tax loophole, you know it’s time to close the S Corp tax loophole. Tell legislators: fund our state services, save the PFD, and make oil and gas corporations pay their fair share. Take action: fbxclimateaction.org/SB227

Dunleavy + Glenfarne are trying to build political pressure for AK LNG with a 90% property tax cut. Glenfarne claims this is necessary for the project to be economic, but that's unclear, since they won't release details on the economics of the project. More here: www.dermotcole.com/reportingfro...

FCAC and Northern Alaska Environmental Center are seeking a Legislative Support Contractor for this year's session. This position will track priority bills for both organizations to support their legislative advocacy work. Check out the RFP at www.fbxclimateaction.org/jobs

Fairly taxing oil companies and closing the S-corp loophole are common sense measures to fix the state budget crisis. These options are also the best for all Alaskans. Tell your legislators to support SB 92! alaskabeacon.com/2026/01/30/r...

The Policy and Politics Working Group was ecstatic to see the introduction of the FNSB energy dashboard debuted last week. It’s clear to see, within the dashboard, that our reliance on fossil fuels over renewable energy is costing our borough and our taxpayers. www.newsminer.com/news/local_n...

This graph from the Institute for Energy Economics and Financial Analysis (IEEFA) shows the significant decrease in U.S. oil and gas employment in the last decade. It makes sense to decrease tax breaks for oil companies when they are investing less in us. (graph description from IEEFA in comments)

This article lays out a helpful explanation of the current state of Alaska's controversial proposed LNG pipeline (which is expected to take up a LOT of legislators' time this session), including the history of the project, the current players, and the tenuous economics. grist.org/energy/alask...

Public comments are due for GVEA's rate case by 5 p.m. this Wed. Check out this article from the Alaska Energy Transparency Project for more info! www.akenergytransparency.org/news/gvea-fi...

The "final decision" on the gasline has been almost here for over 50 years now. Meanwhile, billions have been spent not building a pipeline, and not bringing on any new energy. Don't we think it's about time to move on?

What does the loss of federal funding for renewables mean for Alaskans? Losing out on 250 megawatts of renewable energy generation for ratepayers on the railbelt, at a time when we need all of the energy sources we can get. Read on for more info! www.adn.com/opinions/202...

"An oil production tax that is zero until the oil field begins to decline in 2034 is not in the state’s best interest. The lack of a simple gross production tax is the biggest flaw in our excessively complicated tax system." www.dermotcole.com/reportingfro...

Since Trump fired everyone ahead of hurricane season, we figured he needed help delivering this message so we showed up at FEMA HQ to help out. #MakePollutersPay #NoFEMA #ClimateJustice

Mysteriously, tax settlements have dropped by hundreds of millions of dollars under Dunleavy. Several months ago a former Dunleavy Deputy Commissioner wrote that he was told “point blank” he was “expected to violate statute to enrich oil companies on public money they weren't legally entitled to.”

We're suing the Trump admin for unlawfully giving coal power plants a free pass to pollute. “This is a political favor for coal corporations that results in families & children breathing more mercury & arsenic, chemicals that cause cancers & birth defects.” - Nicholas Morales, Earthjustice Attorney
