Dunleavy urges Alaska to adapt to evolving technology and energy demands

Governor Dunleavy spoke at the Greater Fairbanks Chamber of Commerce luncheon about the increasing need for energy in Alaska. The debate over energy sources has been ongoing, with some supporting fossil fuels and others advocating for renewable sources. Dunleavy emphasized the importance of utilizing a variety of energy sources in the future, including nuclear, wind, gas, geothermal, and solar power.

He mentioned that technology is advancing rapidly, contributing to the growing demand for energy. Server farms and supercomputers require significant amounts of power, comparable to the energy needs of entire cities. As technology continues to evolve at a rapid pace, the demand for energy will only increase.

Dunleavy highlighted the importance of diversifying Alaska’s resources and economy to reduce the state’s reliance on oil. He also mentioned the potential for artificial intelligence to help address labor shortages in the future by filling jobs that are currently vacant.

In conclusion, Governor Dunleavy stressed the importance of adapting to changing technological trends and expanding energy sources to meet Alaska’s growing energy needs. He also encouraged individuals to stay informed with the latest news and weather alerts through the Newscenter Fairbanks app.
