W.Gary...  what is the number then..that makes the project more economic?.. do you know one?  What is the price the slope cartel demands?  What is a willing buyer ready to pay for long term gas reliability?  If you don`t know those answers you cannot say whether AGDC`s plans are "economic" or not.  Oil is declining... what would you have us replace it with if you say we cannot afford to even get our own gas to ourselves?  You must make a killing in stocks huh?..knowing so much more than us plain old Alaskans do about what`s happening in secret negotiations. last I heard the price was closer now to the 45 billion number. Not a bad investment if it brings two hundred BILLION to the state over 30-40 years,..as well as finally bring affordable gas to Alaskans in a common-carrier, distance-sensitive gasline open to all producers, not just the three member cartel on our slope.
