Lawmakers think Senate's energy bill would force risk-taking - KTUU.com | Alaska's news and information source |
Some lawmakers are questioning whether or not the state can afford certain alternative energy projects and brought up those questions in Monday's Senate Resources Committee meeting.

They're concerned the Senate's wide-ranging energy bill would force the state to take some risks.

Language in the omnibus energy bill would require state agencies to consider using alternative energy projects.

The specific goals are to improve energy efficiency by 15 percent per capita by 2020, generate half of the state's electricity from renewable sources by 2025, and to "work to ensure a reliable, in-state gas supply" for state residents.
