The gas pipeline dream should be trash canned. There is too much gas being produced and looking for buyers. More gas is coming on line and driving the gas cost down every further. One of the only ways to effectively use our 35 trillion cubic feet of stranded gas on the North Slope is to convert that gas to energy at the well head, transmit that energy via HVDC to Fairbanks, and build out the Railbelt Energy grid to as many Alaska communities as possible. AVEC has a plan to do that and I hope the administration and legislature will look at that idea more favorably so that Alaskans can gain maximum benefit from its stranded natural gas on the North Slope.
