The resolution urges the United States Congress to enact a waiver for the Jones Act to allow for the transportation of domestic liquefied natural gas (LNG) between ports in Alaska. It highlights the state's reliance on natural gas for electricity generation and heating, noting that a projected shortfall in the Cook Inlet natural gas supply is expected to begin in 2027. The resolution emphasizes the urgency of addressing this energy crisis, particularly for military bases and communities in Southcentral Alaska that depend on natural gas. It also points out that the lack of Jones Act-compliant vessels currently hinders the transportation of LNG within the state, despite the U.S. being a leading exporter of LNG.

The resolution further discusses the potential of the North Slope's natural gas reserves and the construction of a liquefaction plant to support energy needs. However, it acknowledges that trucking natural gas from the North Slope is not economically viable for the quantities required, and a pipeline construction would take years to complete. By requesting a Jones Act waiver, the resolution aims to facilitate the immediate transportation of LNG to stabilize the state's energy supply and reduce costs for communities currently relying on more expensive diesel fuel. The resolution will be sent to key federal officials, including the President and members of Alaska's congressional delegation.
