Abstract/ Foreword

As the only arctic state in America, Alaska is the least dense in population, while consuming more energy (per capita) than any other state. A quarter of that energy presently is provided for by renewable resources, despite a long standing goal out of the legislature to provide half of the state's domestic energy through renewable energy resources by 2025. Of the non-renewable energy produced in the state, natural gas provides half the energy, primarily for the largest urban area. Most of the state’s crude petroleum production has been shipped outside the state for refining on America’s West Coast, while most domestic coal is low in energy content. Yet several types of capital need to be addressed to shift from nonrenewable to renewable energy sources.
