Alaskan Gas Pipeline Is Viable, And Now
The state remains bullish about a pipeline for transporting gas from Alaska’s North Slope to the lower forty eight states. I am too. North Slope’s proven natural gas reserves currently stand at around 30 Tcf. Alaska governor Sean Parnell has said the state is working to settle a lease dispute seen as critical to building the natural gas pipeline (<em>P&GJ</em>, December 2010, p.4). I trust this happens soon.
