The resolution from the Alaska State Legislature urges the United States Congress and the Trump administration to reverse the previous administration's decision to ban offshore oil and gas leasing. It highlights Alaska's long-standing history of responsible resource development, which has been crucial for the state's economy, job creation, and energy affordability. The resolution points out that the outgoing Biden administration's withdrawal of approximately 625 million acres of the federal Outer Continental Shelf from potential development has exacerbated energy shortages in regions like Cook Inlet, where natural gas production is insufficient.

The Alaska State Legislature expresses strong opposition to the withdrawal and calls for immediate action to restore balance to the nation's energy policies by prioritizing energy production in critical areas. It emphasizes the importance of Alaska's energy resources for ensuring affordable energy, job creation, and national security while also acknowledging the need to consider environmental factors. The resolution requests that copies be sent to key federal officials, including the President and members of Congress, to advocate for the state's interests in energy development.
