According to a research memo obtained only by Breitbart News, most mainland Americans want to see an expansion of production across Alaska’s major industries, including key minerals, timber, timber, oil and natural gas products.

Furthermore, the majority of 64% support increasing production of critical minerals from mining, 62% believe it would be prudent to expand its production of wood and timber, and 59% lag behind expanding its production of oil and natural gas.
Support increased from 64% to 70% after voters received “additional information on important minerals available in Alaska,” particularly with regard to mineral sourcing.
One additional information provided to respondents is that 49 out of 50 minerals in Alaska are important in modern industry. 80% say this is “convincing as a reason to increase mining activities.”
Another information 77% said is a compelling factor for increasing mining is that the state’s “high standards and strict environmental regulations provide safer resource extraction compared to foreign sources.”
