Well there's a price tag associated with that, and it ain't cheap. So who are you suggesting pay that since the State is broke?   I'll bet people that live on the Railbelt sure as heck don't feel at all obligated to finance transmission lines to Remote Alaska, I sure don't. Now imagine Nome paying $1B (probably more) to tie into the Railbelt, do you think there'd be any money left for business development?  In fact there wouldn't be anyone left in Nome because they wouldn't be able to afford their electricity bill. Sorry Mr Anderson, but that's simply pie the sky.
