Mining?  In Alaska?  Canadian company?  Production shipped out of State?  Non Resident workers?  Destroy the environment and the fishing?  Kill all of the subsistance animals?
Ah, I can hear the nay sayer environmentalists salivating already.  In spite of the fact that the end product would be used in electric cars to save the planet.  Let the protesting and the back room planning begin between the anti's and the EPA.  Get the Judges back on the anti's payroll.
Canadian company, because American companies were forced out by the collectivists.  Processed out of state because of energy cost, because politics and stupid people had no foresight or desire to provide more industry in Alaska!  Between 45 trillion and 200 trillion cubic feet of clean natural gas on the slope just sitting there.  How about a pipeline to Fairbanks or maybe an LNG plant on the slope and a railroad to Fairbanks to utilise it?

State full of mush headed people!  Refuse your PFD, buy candles, chop your wood and walk
