US House passes Kantishna Hills Renewable Energy Act and Hydrographic Services Improvement Act amendment


Yesterday, the House of Representatives passed by voice vote H.R. 441and H.R. 295 which were both introduced by Alaskan Congressman Don Young. H.R. 441, the Kantishna Hills Renewable Energy Act of 2011 would authorize the Secretary of the Interior to issue permits for hydroelectricity projects in the Kantishna Hills area located within the Denali National Park. Additionally, this legislation would facilitate a small land exchange between the National Park Service and Doyon, Limited which owns and operates one of the facilities that can take advantage of a proposed hydroelectricity project.
