Daniel: I offered you a chance to support some legislators who would do just as you advocate, but you blew me off. You have an agenda, which revolves totally around you and your associates. You have posted enough over the years for that to be clear.
You want what is best for you, which is normal. You're not including the trade-off, of what is good for Alaskans also.
You and your associates are all over Alaska, finding oil where the majors aren't even looking. This is good. What Alaska needs to do is force the majors to guarantee connections to the pipe-line, so all of you can get your oil to market.
You are totally focused on cutting your cost of doing business. Focus instead on making your leases more attractive to investors. Seek financing to build your own feeder lines to the pipe-line. work with Alaska and the majors.
The majors need your oil, as the pipe-line needs more volume, to keep from deteriorating, but they aren't going to subsidize you. Neither is Alaska able to anymore.
