AceandGary,

We invest lots of risk money in Alaska's oil and gas lease sales that mostly no on bids on and we have caused lots of new oil and gas production and new oil money to be put into the state's treasury  and added more money to the Permanent Fund,  since 1983. 

AceandGary should we stop investing and hiring Alaskans and stop causing new oil production because we live in the the lower 48? 

Do you want all investment from outside Alaska to stop and leave it to you to keep up the good work?
