Alaska Republican U.S. Senate candidate Kelly Tshibaka, who is challenging Sen. Lisa Murkowski (R-Alaska) in the state’s primary election in August, claims that the longtime incumbent’s vote to confirm Deb Haaland as interior secretary has weakened Alaska, contributing to skyrocketing gas prices and foreign dependence by impeding the production of oil, gas, rare earths, and other vital commodities.

Tshibaka, who has received the endorsement of former President Donald Trump, made the comments in an exclusive interview with The Epoch Times at the Alaska Sustainable Energy Conference, a three-day meeting on geothermal, nuclear, solar, wind, hydropower, and other alternative energy technologies.
