BS back at you. Alaska cannot develop most of its resources because Alaska does not own most of its resources. The iron heel of Fedgov and the Corporate lackeys rests on the neck of the state. Either get off the neck of the State or pay for development. Can't have it both ways and the State always getting the short end of the deal. That's how factions start.

If they have that much passenger business (100K inbound and 100K outbound) there seems to be enough volume there to justify a way on and off the island. Also, looking at the ferry business, I would guess that a bridge allowing vehicular traffic would have a very severe impact on the ferry business.
And, of course, you'd have to forecast impact on airport traffic in and out of the airport if there was some form of I just don't remember seeing that in any of the stories I've seen about this "bridge to nowhere".
