You would think at some point Andrew you would rid yourself of your sour grapes over losing to Sarah. You and your friend Dan Fagan have been screaming "the sky is falling".. long enough! Neither of you can see the forest for the trees when it comes to the real world. We heard our three congressional members echo, almost a year ago that if we don`t get our act together, that the FEDS could, and just might, declare a national energy emergency, and take over construction of a natural gas pipeline to the midwest. Remember that Andy? It`s called seeing the big picture. If things went to pieces with this AGIA law, the reality is that in spite of raised oil taxes and a lot of bitching and moaning, the oil companies haven`t forgotten what our federal delagation said,.. and why they said it. Like one company director said, "we love Alaska, it`s our best and easiest money-maker" They were trying to take us to the cleaners (again.. and we wised up).(see oil @$100 a barrel?, diminishing world supplies and production?, dependance on unstable nations for a lions` share of our imports?). It`s funny how people who profess to be intelligent can be so narrow-minded, vindictive, and self-rightious, such as yourself and Dan. The last I heard, we were at WAR over world energy resources, who will control them, and what kind of world this will be if one side or the other wins. Get off Sarahs` case, you and your buddy Dan. Let the competant and educated elected and appointed officials work the process through. By the time a line is completed, believe me, there will be less natural gas available in many other places. The Russians, Saudis, Iranians, even the Mexicans, have started cutting back on exports because of depletion and their own hungry and growing economies and middle classes. (Sorry, more big picture stuff...) I hope you and Dan can find something and somebody else to deride and rag on, rather than a popular, hard working governor. You`d sure give all the rest of us a rest.
Andrew's Response:
This is the worlds largest oil & gas project in the world. It will only be built on sound economics not on approval ratings.
No matter what your personal take is of the world's energy situation, you are not the one committing the $30 plus billion to the build the project.
We already let the "competent and educated elected and appointed officials work the process" and AGIA failed. They wasted millions, spent the better part of a year chasing rainbows and all we have is one applicant who has said consistently that the pipeline cannot be built without the producers agreement and support.
Put down the kool-aid Jack, its all over. Time for a pipeline strategy that works.
Halcro`s AGIA take...
