Bill > HJR10

This Joint Resolution expresses the Alaska State Legislature's support for the development of the "road belt electrical transmission line," which is described as a high-voltage electrical line intended to run through the interior of Alaska, connecting various communities and military installations. The resolution highlights that this project would improve energy infrastructure, enhance national security by supporting military bases and the Trans Alaska Pipeline System (also known as the Alyeska Pipeline), promote economic growth for businesses and the agricultural industry, and provide a more reliable and cost-effective power source for 17 small communities currently relying on expensive alternatives like diesel. Furthermore, it aims to create a secure electrical transmission loop, crucial for maintaining power during emergencies like earthquakes, and urges Alaska's representatives in the U.S. Congress to actively pursue the development of this vital project.
