One of the major issues that President Trump ran on in the 2024 election was energy. "Drill, baby, drill" was the motto (even if Trump did borrow it from a famous Alaskan), and when he was back in office, the president set about putting our energy policy to rights
When you're talking energy and mineral resources, you have to talk about Alaska. In the energy front, much of our development is and will be on the North Slope. On Monday, several key Trump administration members visited "the Slope" to see things for themselves.
Three Trump Cabinet members began a tour at a key point of operations at a prolific oil field near the Arctic Ocean in Alaska on Monday, part of a multiday trip aimed at highlighting President Donald Trump’s push to expand oil and gas drilling, mining and logging in the state.
The arrival of Interior Secretary Doug Burgum, Energy Secretary Chris Wright and Environmental Protection Agency Administrator Lee Zeldin at Deadhorse came hours after Burgum’s agency said it would follow through with plans to repeal Biden-era restrictions on future leasing and industrial development in portions of the National Petroleum Reserve-Alaska.
The petroleum reserve is west of Deadhorse, which is located at Prudhoe Bay at the starting point for the nearly 50-year-old, 800-mile (1,287-kilometer) Trans-Alaska Pipeline System.
It seems they won't be the only visitors to the Great Land. The Trump administration has proposed a new pipeline, a natural gas pipeline, which has several Pacific nations very interested indeed.

Gotta keep that pipeline filled.
“The Trump administration has proposed a new pipeline, a natural gas pipeline, which has several Pacific nations very interested indeed.”
Get this pipeline built ASAP. I want the thing fully operational by the end of President Trump’s term. It will be much harder to stop if the thing is built and the gas is flowing than if its not built yet.
But watch: Murkowski will find a way to fu@k this up!
Sounds like a good start.
Nope.
That’s one of the few sensible things she supports.
