HLB  - Please explain your comment.  This isn't a choice of "Alaskans refusing" anything.  This is about typically being deceived by corporate interests [big shocker]; those assets are owned by Hilcorp - lock, stock and barrel.  Are you saying it's the populace's/state's responsibility to support what the market won't bear?  That is, if Hilcorp cannot afford to repair purchased but aged-out infrastructure how in the heck are we as Alaskans responsible for that?
