Thanks for the info. Are they trying to develop the coal - or is it just too far and too costly to get it down to the users in the Lower 48?
A liberal friend (yes- friend!) made the comment on how Alaskan’s got a pretty good oil divident/royalty check this year, plus a check to cover the increased cost of fuel. Then made the comment “Alaska is the Saudi of the North” (not in a mean way - he loves Alaska and kicks himself for leaving!) ANYWAY - I wonder how much of this attitude is real, and could it be sold to mainstream Midwest America to vote against Palin?
However - didn’t she just raise the taxes on the oil companies a bit? I recall that the negotiated tax rate from years ago may have been tainted (bribes or something?).
