Sounds like that problem could be solved by building a $40 billion pipeline to the lower 48. No way a project of that magnitude could be done with a political lightweight in charge.
True, and financed by private, corporate funds to boot. And forcing a rebate for the taxpayers of the energy producing state. That would be very difficult to pull off.
Hmm... didn't Biden vote against the Alaska pipeline?
Biden was a reliable "no" on [the Alaska Pipleline]. In July [1973], when the Senate passed the Gravel-Stevens amendment allowing immediate construction of the line and precluding further judicial review, Biden voted no. The amendment passed after Vice President Spiro Agnew broke a 49-49 tie.In November, Biden voted against final passage of the bill. The vote was 80-5, Biden one of the five.
