We can make a choice to invest now in a 21st century energy grid, one that can fully unleash the energy potential of our state. There is no better way to start that than with Alaska's Grid Resilience and Innovation Partnerships Program award, a federal award of $206.5 million to complete major upgrades to the rail belt electric grid, with another 206.5 million in matching funds required. I spoke with Secretary Granholm and President Biden personally about how much this means to our state. I work day in and day out with our us senators to help bring this project home, and we will continue to deliver for Alaska. (13:52–14:10)
