text: I have been a long-time supporter of the current administration, but the continued, obsessive pursuit of this gas line project baffles me to no end. The state is just as broke and in debt as the feds are, yet the story goes on and on about the "need for the project" in spite of the economic reality that it's not viable. There are so very many alternative sources of LNG worldwide that have a lower delivered price than anything from our state could approach. Even if the $$$ were there, it'll take 50 years to get the permits and approvals! Good thing we're not trying to build TAPS in 2016 ... it'd never happen in our lifetimes!
