Alaska Energy Forum
Excluding Federal offshore production, Alaska ranks second in the nation in crude oil production.
Alaska's North Slope contains 14 of the 100 largest oil fields in the United States, and two of the largest natural gas fields, including Prudhoe Bay which is the highest yielding oil field in the United States.
The Trans-Alaska Pipeline can pump up to 2.1 million barrels of crude oil per day, more than any other crude oil pipeline in the United States.
Alaska is a major producer of wind, hydroelectric, and geothermal energy. Natural gas generates 3/5 of state's electricity, and hydroelectricity another fifth.
If you believe strongly that we must address the growing challenge of energy security through a non-partisan comprehensive, balanced approach, then the Alaska Energy Forum is your community.
