twosail, are you proposing using the obsolete Fisher/Tropsch GTL method ??

goog:  siluria gasoline

I propose we Blow TAPS on the Bugle, and shut that old stupid pipeline down ASAP.
I know how to reline the inside of TAPS quick & efficient to 42" then convert it to a mediocre gasline, but I wouldn't do that under current management, nobody should be rewarded for being stupid even if they are Alyeska, I was an Alaskan before Alyeska was born.

Nslope CRUDE-behavior should be shut down ASAP, 100% of the remaining hydrocarbons can be produced as gas much more efficiently. Gas is a superior petrochemical feedstock that should be processed in modern micro-mobile Alaskan Refineries with maximum benefit for Alaskans.

The idea of making more Amalgamated Unobtainium DilBit for TAPS in 2016 is absolutely laughable and downright silly.

Meet me at Fukushima, and I will tell you how Alaska can become a global leader in resource/energy innovation.
