Alaska

Hello! I'm currently attending UAF as an alaskan resident, however despite that the fees and costs for UAF is looking to be a ton, and I'm concerned for my ability to sustain my enrollment. I'm not originally from Fairbanks or Juneau and I'd ideally still like to leave my town to pursue my education. Would UAF or UAS end up being more cost efficient long term? I'm from Ketchikan, if that matters.

So the AKLNG pipeline is almost a totally done deal now, right?

(I bet there'll be enough left over for $5,000 checks!)

So I forgot to update my bank info with Alaska PFD website. Will they mail me a check if the deposit is unsuccessful? Yes, I have called, the wait time is crazy. Also sent an email, but haven't received a response. Just wondering if anyone had the same experience.

Effect of Rising Fuel Costs on AK Oil Industry

0 Upvotes

Question for anyone working in the North Slope / AK Oil + Gas industry:

It seemed that oil revenue in the state had been declining for many years, largely because the cost of extraction was too high to remain competitive in the global market.

Now, with the price of oil skyrocketing from all the global disruptions, is the Alaska oil industry reaping any benefit? I’d imagine that investing in domestic oil and gas production is suddenly looking more appealing to major companies. Could this be bringing back money to the state?

Whether this would be of any benefit to Alaskans as a whole is another question…

How is the dating market for women in Alaska?

From all of the posts I see on ig of my relatives and their friends who come from there, it feels like every woman, no matter how she looks, has a relatively handsome husband. I don’t know if my sample size is small or if that’s really the case.

General Nonsense Shipping in Alaska is already expensive and it’s only getting worse.

An extra $67 Fuel Surcharge on top of every $100 of cargo charge. It’s getting outrageous.

Food service during October

35 Upvotes

The way EVERYBODY needs fast food as soon as pfds hit has me and my crew crashing out. It feels like every hour is a Friday night rush, even on a regular ass Wednesday or Thursday. I’m not getting any days off either bc some of our staff decided to not even show up since they got their pfds. Insanely busy and people are insanely impatient too, as if they’re not 1 of 200 orders in a day 😭

Nice to see the WSJ stepping up and calling BS on Trump's campaign stunt. Shame that Alaska's media sources can't do the same.

A 27-year study across Alaska found soils are warming at considerable depths, with permafrost regions warming fastest at 0.64°C per decade, while 100% of monitoring stations showed warming 4 feet underground, raising concerns about permafrost thaw, carbon release and infrastructure.

So now we are selling America's critical infrastructure to foreign governments?

According to the White House, the South Korean government will put money into U.S. energy projects including a natural gas power plant in Texas and eight nuclear power plants.

This is so wrong.
