Washington Examiner Op-Ed by David Haugen (NGP Photo) I am proud of my role in shaping Alaskan oil and gas development since the 1970s and in helping to produce "Pipeline Pioneers," a new film series available at arcticopportunity.org about the people who helped build one of the country's greatest and most critical engineering landmarks — the Trans-Alaska Pipeline System (TAPS). The series depicts TAPS through my eyes and those of four other Alaska pioneers — Dave Norton, Scott Harter, Kathleen Dalton and state representative Benjamin Nageak. Since its construction in the 1970s, [...]

Some have said : “Well, it is in Federal waters so we won’t get anything out of it.” I just don’t believe that is true. Here are some of the direct benefits we will receive if Shell is successful in [...]
