Very well written article! As always I would like to point out that getting cheap natural gas distributed statewide will help create new economies and infrastructure to level out the rises and falls of a resource gutting state. We have a gigantic and awesome hunk of the planet here. Time to invest in our own precious metals bank as a backup to the Permanent Fund. By creating our own fully backed Cd's from a state owned by the people bank we can wrest control of our own economy from outside influences.
