AGP Executive Report

Last update: 6 hours ago

Coal Push in Alaska: President Trump announced nearly $700 million in coal support using Cold War-era Defense Production Act powers, including $89 million from the Energy Department to study a new coal-fired plant in the Susitna River watershed (Terra Energy Center, west of Skwentna) and additional funding aimed at building new coal plants in Alaska. National Energy Policy: The broader plan backs upgrades for 13 coal plants, restarts a shuttered Maryland facility, and funds a long-delayed coal export terminal in Oakland, California—drawing sharp criticism from environmental advocates who warn of pollution and health impacts. Ocean Monitoring Alarm: Alaska News Nightly reports scientists say a plan to pull a long-standing ocean observation station off Alaska’s coast threatens key climate data. Subsistence & Mining Tensions: Graphite One held an open house in Nome and residents near Teller raised concerns about subsistence risks as the company advances a graphite mine in the Kigluaik Mountains. Community Climate Resilience: Fairbanks is launching a City Hall mural project celebrating Interior Alaska cultures, landscapes, and climate adaptation, with volunteer painting days June 6-7. Local Wildlife Safety: Moose calving season is driving more Anchorage encounters, with Fish & Game urging residents to give mother moose space. Marine Debris Cleanup: A new report says Alaskans collected more than 1.5 million pounds of marine debris in 2025 through community cleanups.
