But this points out a very weak link in our whole energy chain: That Alaska pipeline. Its a long linear choke point, a hit at any one place on its 600+ miles would shut it down, no way to ship out in winter for sure(do they even have dock facilities for summer?)

But the answer may mean some uncomfortable alternatives: govt subsidy of domestic producers in the lower 48 and drilling off CA & FL(and from what I understand, right now states have veto power over offshore drilling). Ram it down CA's throat, we can win without them, time they do their fair share after giving us Clinton and all those liberals.
