5-12-16 How The Federal Government Stole Alaska’s Statehood Birthright

Even if the federal government were to restore the natural resource birthright it has stolen from the 49th State, Alaskans would STILL remain challenged. For when its citizens enjoyed what seemed to be unlimited oil wealth 3-4 decades ago, it taxed more and spent more and more -- until it had developed an unsustainable lifestyle. So, we do hope that great leadership can free Alaska of the federal overreaching jurisdiction and violations of due process described below. But then, equally great leadership -- with disciplined citizen support -- must establish sustainable government services [...]

5-2-16. Alaska has condensate but not enough crude oil; Alberta has massive crude but insufficient condensate (at the right price). Should they renew talks about an Alberta-Alaska rail….

Our observation: A rail line between Alberta and Alaska could export Oil Sands crude through Alaska and backhaul North Slope condensate. (See story below). We'll leave it to others to consider economic feasibility of different routes and modes. We will observe that the backhaul idea might make any Canadian export project more feasible. Furthermore, the Oil Sands new challenge of requiring heavy oil to be thinned by about a third, with condensate, and Exxon's new Point Thomson condensate production does create more condensate for sale...and does reveal a nearby market [...]

The Road Less Traveled by Dave Harbour A path less taken.... A road more oft taken. Yesterday's editorial may seem like the writer has no empathy or regard for elected leaders. Au contraire. We have run for public office twice ourselves and lost twice. We know the dedication and loneliness required to enter the political arena. We appreciate the courage and focus and determination one musters to run for office. One appreciates the long hours of candidate work, the door-to-door, the fund raising, the volunteer coordination, the interviews [...]

Alaska's Fiscal Crisis: Irresponsible Spending vs. Responsible Resource Development * * * i.e. Socialism vs. Free Enterprise * * * Socialism seeks to control the means, transportation and distribution of production.

1-21-16 “Our Own Worst Economic Enemy”

Yesterday, we commented on the passing of our dear, respected economist friend (and sometimes friendly antagonist) of almost 50 years, Arlon Tussing (NGP Photo). Apropos of today's title, he once testified in a way that more liberal readers might have found offensive: Comment: Arlon's wise counsel outlives him as those close to him knew it would. Often politicians try to solve, with other peoples' wealth, economic problems better left to free enterprise solutions guided by Adam Smith's invisible hand. -dh Before the Congress succumbs to any renewed yearning for a "National Energy Strategy" to serve [...]
