Have you guys heard any radio or TV coverage on this or is greenpeace going to get the protection of the major media as usual?

Alaska is conservative; even somewhat more libitarian leaning political landscape. We do have greenies up here though. Most are well educated and quite active. Funny to see people you know chain themselves in protests; but actually the ones I have known have been good community members. Just not the kind of people you'd hunt with or want to walk out of somewhere's with.

You hear about the outside trouble makers.

Natives don't believe anything the govt promises or what white people tell them about environment. Of course they have good reason to; we have an awful track record over the last 100 years. Alot to be said for traditional knowledge that our government tends to ignore exclusively.

The greenies don't control resources up here anyway; price does, always has.
