From the transcript
We get these projects on our CIP list through our legislative office, and then we can direct capital funds at the end of the year if available. So to do this, I helped support the bulk fuel loan program cap increase last year. Another avenue supporting our village projects on the renewable energy fund list— last year I worked hard to ensure the $3 million Alakaket solar and battery project the $1.2 million Healy geothermal project. Just like small in-stream hydro down here in Chitina, these projects go a long way to reducing our local energy costs. I also really am supportive of the AK LNG line.
