piano2, If Alaskan leaders could be lower the state's very high cost per barrel of oil by reducing all the harsh and unreasonable agency managers! 

If Alaska wants to compete with Kingdoms like Saudi Arabia the the legislature has to be wise and make laws that will stop complicated oil and gas regulations and consistent litigation! 

Only then will Alaska's cost per barrel of oil be able to compete with Saudi's very low cost! 

Alaska is at risk of shutting down very fast unless the Governor and some legislators stop HB 247 and make Alaska oil regulations better so cost are lower! 

If HB 247 is not dropped and cost lowered then Saudi will use this oil glut to own Alaska's oil market! 

Lights out Alaska!
