The Matanuska-Susitna Borough, that merry band of politicians who brought us the debacle of the MatSu Ferry, now wants more of other people's money for another worthless project. There is nothing about the Point MacKenzie that makes it economic. It's across Cook Inlet from the Port of Anchorage so it has all the same problems. There is no logistic argument that justifies Point MacKenzie. Export coal is dead and the notion that other natural resource exports justifies Point MacKenzie is ludicrous. The rail link will become a financial millstone around the neck of the Alaska Railroad. The annual cost of track maintenance alone is reason enough to have never attempted this project. Have we learned nothing from the failures of the Anchorage Fish Processing Plant, the Sheffield Railroad Terminal, Healy Clean Coal, the Delta Barley among other failed projects? There is a reason the private sector is not championing this useless project.  We should take the hint and abandon this fiasco.
