In the past 42 years, I have helped build hundreds of industrial sites and I am currently in Levelock Alaska near Bristol Bay building a fish processing plant. My most important lesson is that science must inform the building of industry or that industry will fail.

Many people have suggestions for building industry in Alaska but most people have no knowledge of industrial science. Science must inform public policy and the best industrial policy for Alaska is identified in the 10-part series titled the “Alaska Emergency Employment Mobilization.”

Part 10 of this series is the advocacy for creating the Alaska State Bank as a true development bank.

The draft legislation for this bank includes investing using the basic principles of industrial science as identified in the following alphabetically ordered list from the 2018 Alaska State Bank House Bill 376:

Amperage, brightness, British thermal units, clarity, conductivity, dynamics, electrification, energy coherence, energy conversion, energy flux density, horsepower, intelligence, joules, luminosity, machine tool principle, miniaturization, newtons, plasma coherence, potential population density, principle of least action, productivity, qualitative transformation, radiancy, reliability, renewability, self-organization, sustainability, thermal efficiency, throughput, torque, transparency, volumetric energy density, volumetric energy efficiency, voltage, wattage, and work flux density.
