yes, inquiring minds to wonder about the conflict between usabelli and natural gas resources within the state. The local electric utility, GVEA, signed a long term contract for coal, too. To their credit, coal was a certainty and gas was (and still is) a pipe dream. AIDEA, IGU and others should all be credited for part of this bumbled gas dream. So many acronyms and not a one of them seem to be getting us towards the bottom line of something other than coal or wood. Goodness. One wonders how much has been spent in "studies" and expenses. May there still be a hard working reporter employed by the Dispatch who could relate those figures to us, your readers?
