“this, this would not be possible, this funding and all of the projects that we're building across the state, were it not for the efforts of Senator Murkowski, Senator Sullivan, Congressman Begich, and Governor Dunleavy. But most of all, we owe our thanks to Senator Murkowski, who from the time of the passage of EPAct 2005, that's the Energy Policy Act of 2005, that completely shifted the way The federal government does energy programs. She was instrumental in that and has been instrumental throughout the last two decades in keeping the lights on and driving thoughtful, deliberate energy policy.”

From the transcript
And as Senator Murkowski said a second ago, it is, it is crazy, particularly in Alaska, a state that is as abundant in natural resources as it is, that prices can be as high as they are. We are going to fix that problem, and we are going to drive it forward with the thoughtful application of the money that Congress has made available to us to ensure that prices are as low as possible and that the energy system of Alaska remains stable. So This, this would not be possible, this funding and all of the projects that we're building across the state, were it not for the efforts of Senator Murkowski, Senator Sullivan, Congressman Begich, and Governor Dunleavy. But most of all, we owe our thanks to Senator Murkowski, who from the time of the passage of EPAct 2005, that's the Energy Policy Act of 2005, that completely shifted the way The federal government does energy programs. She was instrumental in that and has been instrumental throughout the last two decades in keeping the lights on and driving thoughtful, deliberate energy policy.
