“Well, we've been in this predicament before, back in 2011, 2012, and what did we do? We invited Hilcorp to come up and solve our problems for us. And they, with the legislature, created CINGSA, Cook Inlet Natural Gas Storage Area.”REAP: 2026 Alaska Gubernatorial Energy Forum · Sep 23, 2026

“DNR plays a key role in reviewing and approving those plans of development. Development for each of those producers, and DNR has been a major reason why Hex and Blue Crest are moving forward, and recent DNR action has really been a kick in the rear end for Blue Crest, and I think that's an appropriate role for state agency to play.”REAP: 2026 Alaska Gubernatorial Energy Forum · Sep 23, 2026

“Number one, making sure that we're getting the most out of the Cook Inlet Basin makes a tremendous amount of sense. Supporting producers like Hex with Kitchen Lights and Bluecrest with Cosmopolitan, and Hilcorp has an aggressive drilling program in Cook Inlet.”REAP: 2026 Alaska Gubernatorial Energy Forum · Sep 23, 2026

“You don't have people lining up to want to do business. You can't say, well, we got to go to Hillcorp, we've got to go to Hex, and then turn around out the other side of your mouth and say, well, you're not doing your fair share.”REAP: 2026 Alaska Gubernatorial Energy Forum · Sep 23, 2026

“conserving natural gas for its highest and best use, which is heating, we don't really have an alternative, and aggressively diversifying in terms of how we generate electricity in order to conserve that very precious and finite natural gas resource, I think makes a lot of sense.”REAP: 2026 Alaska Gubernatorial Energy Forum · Sep 23, 2026
Treg Taylor
“the reality of that is it's going to increase people's electric costs for probably 25% and people's gas costs up to, up to, 80%.”REAP: 2026 Alaska Gubernatorial Energy Forum · Sep 23, 2026
