Just make sure that not one watt goes to mining, not one public penny either. Never. Donlin Gold  
(Barrick and Nova Gold) will use appoximately the same amount of natural gas (for instance) as Anchorage. Check the really awful human rights and environmental record of such companies who would come here to mine and use hydroelectricity. They would make a large take-home-out-of-Alaska profit if they could use hydroelectricity (at our land, water and state budget expense). Tell them to repair the lives, lands and waters they've damaged before they ever come here. Why was Jim Bowles, a Conoco Phillips executive on the board of the Nature Conservancy in a time of climate change? There should be an adversarial relationship between those trying to save the earth and those whose activities would destroy it. Are there mining executives on the board now?
