Obama’s energy remark baffles Alaska senators

In his State of the Union address Tuesday night, President Obama never mentioned Alaska or the Arctic, but he took a few shots at the oil industry. Obama says it’s time to accelerate the move away from “dirtier” energy.
“Rather than subsidize the past, we should invest in the future, especially in communities that rely on fossil fuels,” Obama said. “We do them no favor when we don’t show them where the trends are going.”
