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.

As an advanced nation we live in a target rich environment. You can go crazy if you think about it too much.

There's nothing for it but to be dogged about getting them and protecting our stuff as best we can and plug our leaks, and we have to understand we're probably going to take more loses. Uh, what was that figure of probability, ....100%?
I kept trying to get likely candidates to form homeland security cells with me on the QT, but so far, no takers. Now I'm going public. Any takers?
