Good read from Arctic Energy Center:
"As foreign policy and national security specialists, we support retaining the two Arctic leasing areas when the Program is finalized. The strategic significance of the Arctic is growing due to rapid change in the physical and geopolitical environments. Excluding the Arctic from the Program would harm our ability to protect our interests and to promote cooperation in the region."

Ver maisICYMI: We wanted to make sure you saw Tuesday’s piece by Kateri Callahan, President of the Alliance to Save Energy (ASE), in The Hill. As a leader in the energy efficiency community, ASE is well aware that the only viable path to getting a comprehensive energy bill signed into law is to go to conference – and like many others, ASE is ready for the Senate to vote to proceed to one.
The House already approved that step (and named their conferees) by voice vote. Now, the ball i...s in the Senate’s court. Some have pointed out that there are differences between the chambers’ two bills. Those differences, of course, can best be worked out in a conference, which is needed to complete bipartisan – and bicameral – efforts to advance the country’s first comprehensive energy bill in nearly a decade.
Both a conference – and a bill signed into law – are in everyone’s best interest. It’s the only way to get the $60 billion in energy savings for American consumers from the efficiency title of S. 2012 that ASE mentions in their op-ed – not to mention a 1.5 billion ton reduction in carbon dioxide emissions.
The efficiency title alone, which is one of 10 titles in the Senate bill, can make these and other benefits a reality for American consumers. There is much more, of course, inside both versions of the bill, including provisions to address infrastructure, supply, public lands, and research and development.
None of it will matter, though, if the process isn’t allowed to move forward to a conference. Chairman Murkowski stated her vision for the process clearly last week to E&E, saying her goal is “not to jam the other side; it’s not to put a target on something that the president is going to veto. I’m really seeking to update and modernize our energy policies. I want to get a final product.”
ASE seems to support this approach. So does the U.S. Chamber of Commerce. And soon, all members of the U.S. Senate will have an opportunity to vote in favor of taking the next step forward in modernizing our energy and natural resources policies.
