Build a gas line that looses money so that we can save money on the build?

The gas line is not an investment in "ourselves" it is an investment in the Interior (Fairbanks area).  There is no gas line to FBX because it is not cost effective; too small population, too far away.

This discussion kind of reminds me of people in rural villages wanting government to build infrastructure.  If the costs are too high to live in FBX(or rural villages), there is lots of land within the web of existing gas lines.
