And that has Alaska's politicians beating the drums for a gas pipeline. One possible route would cross the border in to the Canadian Yukon, then onto the lower 48. A competing route would run offshore, crossing farther east into Canada's northwest territories, then connecting with Canada's own network that already supplies the United States. But if the congress decides not to have exploration in ANWR, we'll work with the Canadians. Relieving the nation's gas shortage isn't really a matter of finding more supply, said Caruso.
Reserves are there, without a doubt.
But if the energy companies do go ahead with a gas pipeline in Alaska, it will be if and when they're convinced the long-term price is right for them. WFAA Co. All Rights Reserved. Join or start this discussion Get personalized traffic reports.
