Dear Mr. Wolhforth
You failed to address the environmentalist perspective that dominates and really complicates the politics of getting to a cost-effective reliable electrical system for the entire rail-belt.  
The MEA Eklutna Power Plant is the most energy efficient and cleanest of all because it uses the very latest in technologies.  But it’s built outside the Mat-Su Borough because the green lobby blocked alternative site locations through the Assembly.  The MEA system doesn’t have the cost efficiency or reliability it should have because of never ending battles over transmission line routing in Wasilla.  The greens have blocked for decades extending reliable electric grid service east all the way to Glennallen.
