We here in Alaska are sitting on one of the largest and oldest proven gas reserves, and have built the facilities to process the gas. But the American Government will not let us do that. So the Canadians are willing to build a pipeline just to use our idle factories.
Most of the mining in Alaska is done by Canada, because it is impossible to get the permits if your a citizen.
Just with Alaska alone, it shows that the economic “down turn” is intentionaly being put into place by those who control legislation.
New World Order anyone?
