Did you know that just 12% of the 89,000 paying customers of Chugach Electric vote for the Board Members of this public utility that impacts every customer’s paycheck month in and month out?
It should come as no surprise that left-leaning climate alarmists, hand-picked and funded primarily through the Alaska Center for the Environment (now known as just the Alaska Center to mask their identity) and Renewable Energy Alaska Project, dominate the Chugach Electric Board. And when these board members oppose sensible, affordable, predictable strategies to provide energy…you and I pay more. And our freedoms are impeded.
Stewarding the resources on this planet is Biblical and is necessary. Playing into the hands of George Soros-loving billionaires flying around the world on private jets preaching to people about carbon footprints is something else entirely.
Yesterday, on “I’m Glad You Said That,” I was privileged to chat with Todd Lindley, a conservative, experienced mechanical engineer with years of work in the energy arena, about why it’s so important to have a variety of voices on this board. Southcentral Alaskan rate payers should not be held hostage by a leftist mindset more concerned with woke environmental ideology than affordable, predictable energy to take care of our families.
