The Alaska Legislature knows if HB 247 is allowed to destroy and run Alaska's oil workers off the job, the Trans Alaska Pipeline will shut down and Cook Inlet will shut off gas to South Central Alaska. 

Alaska can't afford to get it wrong and everyone knows the Legislature needs to wait till the 2017 session to get it right!

The issue is living with $25 to $50 per barrel oil will shut TAPS down very fast and doom Alaska's economy. 

Killing the Alaska oil industry with HB 247 is not the answer because it will shut TAPS down much faster!  

The solution is simple; fix the broken oil & gas regulatory system that was set up to price competitors out of Alaska so the majors could enjoy a monopoly and keep 95% of all Alaska Oil markets. 

Why are oil agencies and many legislators harsh toward Alaskans and smaller competitors and don't seem to want to lower the bonds and permitting cost & uncomplicate the laws that keep this 50 year big oil monopoly alive?

Simply lower regulatory cost now!
