Remember the oil companies proposed a gas line across the top hooking up to the McKenzie pipeline. That was probably the most valid way to sell/export gas. The State said "no way". What scares me is we seem to be trying to find any and every way to sell our resources for a dollar now and worry about later much further down the road. What happens 200 years from now with all the heating oil and gas gone, sold, caput? Global warming may actually be our friend and savior. With melted permafrost, trees will grow and we can at least revert to firewood and wood stoves if the EPA still allows that. If everyone cuts and gives to the State 15 cords of wood / year we should be able to pay off the pensions debt the State has incurred by by year 2250. That is the good news. They buried gas lines all over Fairbanks. 2 year project.  We have no gas! I would much rather have had fiber optic cable. You know, like Barrow, and Deadhorse has now. At least I could bitch at high speeds!
