The slate of candidates running as the "stability" slate are laughable. Essentially, they are saying they are not going to change anything, and provide the same level of leadership as they are now.

But the leadership right now is terrible. They say they are in favor of renewables, but do absolutely nothing to back that up.

CIRI is set up for 33 wind turbines on fire island, but right now there are only 11. The infrastructure is built. The roads are built. The dock is built. All they need to expand is for the Chugach Board to agree to buy the energy they would generate from those extra 22 turbines. And they just don't do that for some reason.

There are so many common sense things the board could do right now to head in the right direction, and at the last public board meeting they seemed mostly concerned with where would be the most viable place to import LNG from.

We shouldn't be importing LNG at all, especially when an in-state LNG project on the north slope just got greenlit. Are we seriously going to build an LNG pipeline to export LNG, and then import different LNG to power Anchorage? Why would we do that?

They want us to get locked into a contract now so that they price we pay won't change, but that is going to lock us out of so many opportunities. Not to mention, they are planning to leave a ton of federal money on the table completely unused.
