IAEE, UAA host offshore drilling forum

The Anchorage chapter of the International Association of Energy Economics and the University of Alaska Anchorage are co-sponsoring a public forum on the future of offshore drilling in Alaska.

The free event will be Sept. 22 at 7 p.m. at UAA’s Wendy Williamson Auditorium.

The forum focus will be on navigating the risk-reward spectrum and the purpose will be to present a variety of perspectives to the public and to conduct a deliberative discussion on benefits and risks of Arctic drilling within the contexts of: addressing oil spills in an ice environment; risk mitigation (prevention, paying for spill damages); and benefits of Alaska offshore development.

Panels include: David Ramseur, chief of staff to U.S. Sen. Mark Begich; North Slope Borough Mayor Edward Itta; Pete Slaiby, general manager, Shell Oil Alaska; and John Schoen, senior scientist, Alaska Audubon Society.

Michael Carey, host of Anchorage Edition and Running on KAKM public television and guest columnist for the Anchorage Daily News will moderate the forum. Panelists will take questions from the audience following their presentation.

Parking will be free in the lots east of the Wendy Williamson Auditorium and west of the Professional Services Building (formerly Building ‘K’). For a campus map go to www.uaa.alaska.edu/map/.
