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 Biden administration's actions and calls for immediate action from the incoming Trump administration and Congress to restore balance in energy policy. It emphasizes the importance of offshore oil and gas development for maintaining economic stability, job support, and national energy security while also acknowledging the need to consider environmental factors. The resolution requests that federal policymakers recognize the significance of Alaska's energy resources in ensuring affordable energy and supporting the state's and nation's interests.
