Young Responds to U.S./Canada Arctic Announcement

Washington, DC, March 10, 2016 | Matt Shuckerow | comments

Washington, D.C. – Alaska Congressman Don Young today shared the following statement in response to the joint announcement by President Obama and Canadian Prime Minister Trudeau:

“With months to go in office, the Obama administration has pulled back the curtain and fully exposed its anti-fossil fuel agenda for what it is --- an attempt to stop even the most reasonable forms of resource development in Alaska and across the country. Today’s unilateral actions, taken without consultation of the people most affected by them, create layers upon layers of red tape and further erode any sense of regulatory certainty in the United States. These proposals will destroy American jobs, drive up the cost of domestic energy and stifle private innovations already reducing emissions across the country. If the President were serious about building a resilient Alaska, as he’s stated on numerous occasions, he wouldn’t systematically target our already sensitive economy and the industries that support it. There’s no question, if these proposals move forward they will cause irreparable harm to our state and eliminate countless opportunities for Alaskans to succeed in the future.”
