We have a lot of low-hanging fruit in AK if we get organized to pick it, and manage to keep the critters out of it before we get it in the can.

Flexpipe and Basalt Fiber are two key industries I have identified.
Basalt fiber is worth $100billion to AK as a construction material ideal for saving $100mil in AK-DOT in the next 5yrs.

The very cheapest profitable flexpipe is a LPG-propane low-pressure thickwall cheapo dredgepipe described in my photobucket. Run this pipe from PS4 to Coldfoot 100mi. Then truck it in single axle 2500gal LPG-trucks, which are sold cheap in L48. Sell this propane to the villages for 75% of current price and pay for extending the pipe to FBX.

Convert an Antonov AN-3 into a propane tanker, or use that new blimp for flying 22ton loads to the villages. Any possible way we can figure out how to move LPG statewide from Deadhorse is cashflow+gaslow to keep AK afloat. LPG is the key to making LNG work. Japan pays less for LPG than most of AK.
