Senator Murkowski got it right the first time on the Green New Scam. Now it's time for the great people of Alaska to remind her.
Must Read Alaska (6/23/25) op-ed: "President Trump’s “energy dominance” agenda was on display in Alaska recently when his top energy officials – Energy Secretary Chris Wright, Interior Secretary Doug Burgum, and EPA Administrator Lee Zeldin – spent a week touring and learning more about the state’s critical role and potential in our country’s energy dominance agenda. They underscored the President’s push to expand energy development and production and stood ready to make Alaska front and center. We currently have an administration that, more than any in history, wants to see Alaska succeed. Are you listening, Senator Murkowski? When the Senate passed the deceptively named Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) in 2022, Senator Murkowski made the right call – she voted no, declaring it was riddled with 'new taxes that will burden the American people and American business for years to come.' She even went so far as to say, 'There is no doubt in my mind, based on both substance and process, that the Senate should not have passed it.' Now, less than three years later, Senator Murkowski is openly working to salvage the very subsidies and tax credits she once so publicly, and correctly, opposed...Senator Murkowski was right in 2022. She should stay the course by working to repeal the IRA’s clean energy credits in the Big Beautiful Bill. It would be good for her state, her constituency, and the country."

"It makes perfect sense that the climate movement, outspent and outpowered as it is, might occasionally be caught off guard and need a minute to catch up to the industry's, or the government's, sudden shifts in gear. What makes a lot less sense is why the climate movement still doesn't seem to have its counter-narratives and counter-messaging ready for these shifts."
