This webpage and its predecessor are presented by Northern Gas Pipelines Founder and Publisher, Dave Harbour, as a public service contribution to education, information, facts and intellectual dialogue among the Arctic gas pipeline community of citizen, corporate, government, media and NGO stakeholders. 

We accepted our first sponsor nearly a year after taking this first Alaska Blog online in 2001.  In February of 2003 the Harbour family arranged to keep the webpage available to the public but removed the sponsors and made no physical updates to the webpage while Mr. Harbour served as an appointed official with Alaska's state government.  Following his retirement from that position in early 2008 he resumed publication.  In July of 2009 he converted the webpage into a more modern format. 

While this webpage is a labor of love and contribution to the gas pipeline body of historical knowledge, and is not intended to make a profit, Mr. Harbour invites other public service sponsoring support of this project to help defray some of the significant expense involved, beginning in September of 2010.  Here are the 2001-2003 public service sponsors.

Sponsors receive not only visibility with several hundred or more industry, government, media, education stakeholders in Alaska (50%), Canada (20%), the Lower 48 (20%) and internationally (10%), but also know that our editorial work is picked up by other blogs and webpages for reprint on a regular basis.

Our list of Northern Gas Pipeline Email Alert recipients was nearly 10,000 in 7-10, and growing.
