Urgent note from our friends at the Alaska Support Industry Alliance.

Our emailed submission: 

Please register this as a voice in support of the proposed Donlin Mine and its associated gas pipeline.  

The pipeline enables the favorable economics developed by Donlin management and serves the public interest.  
 
A critical advantage is that rural residents will be given a new energy lifeline at the most reasonable possible price for fuel.  Furthermore, provision of numerous well paying, local jobs is a project component desperately needed in the proximity of the mine and its pipeline.  
 
Respectfully submitted,

DEADLINE Tomorrow, January 28th, is the deadline for comments to the State Pipeline Coordinator’s Office supporting the right-of-way application that Donlin Gold has submitted for their gas pipeline from Cook Inlet to the proposed project site.

In addition to providing energy for the Donlin project, the pipeline has the potential to offer local communities access to stable energy should they choose to tie into the pipeline in the future.More information about the pipeline and right-of-way request can be found on Donlin’s website at www.donlingold.com

Here's a reader letter: You're a great American, Steve!

Subject: Donlin Gold Gas Pipeline Right of Way

To: DNR State Pipeline Coordinator’s Office 

I am writing to support Donlin Gold’s right of way request for a gas pipeline from Cook inlet to the proposed Donlin Gold project site. In addition to supplying a source of energy for the Donlin project, it will also bring natural gas closer to rural Alaska and offer a potentially lower cost energy option. Coupled with the jobs to be created by the Donlin project and the pipeline construction, the gas pipeline will be a tremendous benefit to the residents of that region. 

Since the pipeline will be buried, the environmental impact will be negligible. This pipeline will be a win-win for the State of Alaska in a region with few job opportunities and a high cost of living. 

Sincerely, 

Steve Connelly
