Billions -- For What?
SB 21 will
cost Alaskans an estimated $4.5 billion in the first 5 years alone - and this
number could be much higher depending on the price of oil. After that, billions
more will be given to the most profitable corporations in the world - with no
strings attached. Alaskans are not guaranteed anything in return – no increased
production, no more jobs, no more investment. If oil prices increase, the loss
to Alaskans will grow ever steeper, up to $2 to $3 billion per year. This is
money we could invest in roads, schools, growing our Permanent Fund, more
affordable energy, public safety … you name it.
