Alaska power producers meet in Valdez; discuss renewable energy
Mon, September 17, 2007
Posted in Alaska News, Corrections
The Alaska Power Association held its 56th annual meeting last Thursday and Friday in Valdez. The event was hosted by Copper Valley Electric Association. And it drew industry reps, researchers and local and state political leaders.
CORRECTION (20 Sep 2007)
In the original broadcast of this story, we wrongly attributed a quote about the need to invest heavily and immediately in alternative energy in the state. We originally identified the speaker as UAA’s Steve Colt. The speaker in the quote is actually Tony Izzo, CEO of TMI Consulting and former CEO of Enstar. Steve Colt says he doesn’t agree that the state may suffer an economic collapse from rising fuel prices. He says they are a challenge we can deal with, not a death sentence. We regret the error and announced the correction in the September 20, 2007 edition of Alaska News Nightly.

You misattributed the comment at 4:17 about economic collapse to me. (Story by Amy Bracken, KCHU,17Sep). I don’t know who actually said that, but I completely disagree that we may suffer economic collapse from rising fuel prices. They are a challenge we can deal with, not a death sentence.
A correction would be helpful.
Thanks!
Hi Steve,
I read your note and talked with the reporter. She went back and looked at her notes a realized she had made a mistake. She’s very sorry and so are we. We’ll run a correction on Alaska News Nightly tonight.

Steve, the correction has now been posted on this story, on the September 17 Alaska News Nightly and was announced in the September 20 Alaska News Nightly. So the correction itself now appears in four different locations on our site. Hopefully that will catch anyone that listens to this story in the future. Thank you for catching the error and letting us correct it.
