Thanks.  I see this is a report by enalytica - a favorite consultant of the legislature (which proves that not all the wealth lies beneath the ground in Alaska).  I will read it later today.  Regarding oil, while it might create employment opportunity it is rather pointless to subsidize any of these schemes in Cook Inlet if it results in no long term revenue for state and local governments.  Regarding gas, absent market demand because of our small population (which would  justify private investment) why wasn't this effort to stabilize the supply of  gas approached as a public utility or simply resort to importation?
