Alaska Sustainable Energy Conference Highlights Global Interest in Alaska Energy and Minerals Resources
“There would be no life as we know it without energy – and I would say even no human dignity,” Wade said. “Human flourishing happens when you put two key ingredients together: one is economic freedom, together with affordable, reliable, abundant energy.”
The 2026 conference featured a return appearance by Interior Secretary Doug Burgum. The secretary cast Alaska as a linchpin of American energy dominance, urging Alaskans to leverage their vast resources and strategic location to power allies and help shift geopolitical influence toward the Western Hemisphere. The conversation between Sec. Burgum and Gov. Dunleavy was also recorded as an episode of the podcast C.O.B Tuesday which is available to view here.
During the conference week, the State of Alaska signed an MOU with South Korea’s largest trading company POSCO International to advance six development projects in the state.
Both the State of Alaska and the University of Alaska Fairbanks signed an MOU with the National Laboratory of the Rockies based on their shared interests in advancing Alaska’s role as a leader in critical minerals development, energy system innovation, and Arctic Infrastructure.
Gov. Dunleavy also met and signed a renewed Alaska-Yukon Intergovernmental Accord with Yukon Premier Curry Dixon, strengthening relations between the neighboring jurisdictions.
