The state, PFD and the Alaska's general fund would not have any money if it was not for the discovery of oil fields like Prudhoe bay and 17 other smaller discoveries! Alaska's Cook Inlet production is down from 270,000 barrels per day to 17,000 and the North Slope is down to 490,000 barrels per day from 2 million barre...

i agree those are threats. We just disagree as to how many carriers we need. Not to worry, there are plans to update our armada with a few more, likely more expensive at somewhere around $20 billion. I don't like paying for that, but I do as part of my duty as a citizen.

50% of the Sierra National Forest in California appears to have road access. Less than 10% of the Tongass does. If we shut off 80% of the Sierra National Forest access by road, would the residents of California complain? Roads built in national forests provide access for other uses than logging. The roads in othe...

I don't know what you said in the deleted comments, but I dislike people being censored because they have a feisty way of communicating. And I think that's what happens sometimes. If you speak with passion, you're labeled as being uncivil and you're censored. We need to learn to speak like robots, Spaghetti. :)

The absolutely least painful job loss in the state is an oil industry job because most of them do not live in Alaska, do not pay taxes here, and will have zero multiplier effect from that job loss. Stop stealing from our savings and giving it to big oil.
