“The Russian invasion of Ukraine does reverberate pretty strongly in terms of what happens here in Alaska, what happens in the United States,” said a UAA professor who formerly worked in Ukraine.
ANCHORAGE, Alaska - It’s been over a month since Russia invaded Ukraine, and the war continues to take an economic and human toll felt across the world.
“The Russian invasion of Ukraine does reverberate pretty strongly in terms of what happens here in Alaska, what happens in the United States,” Briggs said. “And the feelings that people have when they see these images on TV.” He was based in Kosovo and Ukraine for four years and moved back to Alaska where works with ISER as a researcher on national science foundation projects, and is faculty at Johns Hopkins University Krieger School of Advanced Studies.“The energy question is still a lingering one,” Briggs said.
“You can look at this in a couple of different perspectives. One, you can look at this in terms of, hey we need to ramp up our traditional oil and gas and perhaps get back to coal, get back to nuclear,” Briggs said. “Or alternatively, you can say this is not just an opportunity but a necessary step that we need to take in order to move to renewable energy technologies.”
