The same thing can be said about automobiles, the space program, organ transplants, etc. We don't give up because something isn't working the way it was envisioned. We look at improving, fine tuning, alternatives.... I do agree with the Heritage article in that lobbyists have to be factored out of the equation.
Nope it is not the same thing private entrepeneurs developed the car. The first transplant was done after the procedure was developed as was the space program. None of the alternate energy sources are ready to produce energy at near the cost of oil.
The way innovation happens is for the market to identify a need and to meet that need at a price that will make the market money. For example a car company could make a car that gets 200 miles to the gallon but it probably look like a bicycle with a lawn mower engine and cost as much as the space shuttle. This is something the car companies shouldn't devote resources to. When fossil fuels become expensive enough alternative sources will be found that over time will come down in cost. The government is trying to artificially create this scenario putting us at a competitive disadvantage.
Ya don't say, the Terhan Times thinks the US producing more natural gas isn't going to be worth it. The next thing you know Toyota will Ford to bring the Edsel back!
I am sure BP and Conocophilips sees it a little differently.
The Washington Post, a private Evite service, has some very linkworthy bait on its editorial page this morning: 600-plus words from Alaska governor Sarah Palin on a hot-button topic, "quitting." Ha! Whoops, see, this is why real news outlets have copyeditors.
Siouxcia, how are the silvers coming in where you're at? They're finally hitting us pretty hard here. We're getting some huge sockeye; they are some that the hatchery released. Of course that particular program has been cut recently.
They're catching silvers pretty regularly and sockeye are everywhere! They're still catching some big kings and lots of humpiess. I went out with a family group a week ago who were subsistence fishing and they easily caught their quota (15 per household) in a short period of time. 15 per household!! That's suppose to be enough to get through the winter. No wonder the fireworks were blasting July 3rd!
The article was originally printed in the Anchorage Daily News.
AK has an interest in this pipeline, but so do the lower 48 and Canada. The reason we purchased that land from Russia was for the natural resourses. It was a good idea then and still is today. Your idea of exporting all that natural gas to world markets from AK is a little dim witted don't you think? If the lower 48 hadn't purchase AK, you would be living in Russia right now. See how that works? It isn't yours to begin with. It also isn't ADN's or Irans. We paid for it. It's ours.
That's your opinion, but unless you have psychic abilities, it's nothing more. Why do you say "all"? Will "green" sectors suffer or benefit? Windmills, solar energy, technology we haven't even heard of? Will those parts of the economy suffer? Why? How? If we have a recessionary economy to begin with, do we blame cap and trade for the entire recession?
True. The Dilithium Crystal market should boom in star date 3790.
May the force be with you!
Those parts of the economy will only exist because we tax the alternatives out of the market. If they weren't worthless, wouldn't they be common place without subsidies. Each of these green jobs cost 2.2 other jobs. It's a net job looser.
Surely she's going to move on to her own reality TV show; a niche that surely suits her much better than a State House. (Joe the Plumber as her sidekick, and honestly, who wouldn't tune in?) And when that contract is signed, how could the network do any better for a title than Saradise Lost!

Wrong yet again. I'd be living in Oregon if Seward hadn't illegally negotiated the purchase of the Great Land.
Of course Canada has an interest in it; they'll be raking in millions of dollars.

With increasing shale deposit production, and the increase in receiving capacity for LNG in the U.S. to 4.5 bcf per day, where does Alaska natural gas fit into the domestic U.S. market?

No, the natural resources in Alaska belong to Alaska.
