As Joe-Joe Biden cozies up to nations such as Venezuela in his hunt to bring down sky-high gasoline prices, Alaska Gov. Mike Dunleavy has a different partnership in mind—one with Americans.
This from westernjournal.com.
[Joe] Biden is searching for oil anywhere on the planet except at home, Dunleavy told Fox News on Wednesday.
During remarks at the Conservative Political Action Conference last month in Orlando, the Republican governor said the Trump era was about “opportunity and hope.” Biden’s time is filled with “cancellation and trepidation,” he said.
Dunleavy followed those remarks with a statement on his website Thursday outlining how Alaska, if let off the Biden leash, could address America’s energy woes.
“Alaska is awash in energy, but not able to capitalize on it,” Dunleavy wrote. “Mr. President, we know you can help with this.”

Dunleavy noted that America was hurting before Russia invaded Ukraine, and policies taken in response to the invasion will exacerbate that pain unless visionary and pragmatic actions are taken to address America’s energy needs.
“Mr. President you said your policies are not holding back domestic energy production. This will be a true statement when you reverse course and allow energy projects to get back on the track they were on before you took office,” Dunleavy wrote.
The Regime’s first step should be to work with Americans and reverse bad decisions, Dunleavy said.

You can lower the price at the pump for Americans by expediting the permitting and regulating processes on responsible oil and gas projects.
The U.S. should not be begging for oil from dictatorships such as Iran and Venezuela.
We can produce it at home with the highest of standards for environmental protection, if you will simply let us, Dunleavy wrote.
“Willow is the largest standalone oil development on the North Slope in more than 20 years. It is nearly shovel ready, could be built by 2025-2026, and would supply some 160,000 barrels of oil per day,” Dunleavy wrote.
Sen. Dan Sullivan of Alaska and other Republicans also called on Biden to let Alaska develop its resources, according to AlaskaNewsSource.
