As a retired utility worker, I vehemently disagree. Alaska does not need another energy monopoly, this plan has been reviewed several times and as we see this latest attempt by the republicans to monopolize the utilities, reflect on our current fiscal crisis and who led us to it.
Read up on transco on the FERC website, their forte appears to be land grabbing, rest assured anything Griffith is promoting serves only corporate interest. The Eklutna plant went over budget 100 million primarily because Griffith appointed his Airforce reject cronie to run the project. Transco is a very bad idea for Alaska as is utilizing ex military as managers of utilities.
