Don't buy a pig in a poke.
Be very careful with regard to the feasibility study being conducted on syn fuels. The company conducting the study has a recent history of placing a veneer on its feasibility reports.

Here's a sunset clause: "PCE is won't make you thrive, it only allows you to survive"
No one in their right mind - had they other options would consider eking out a living on PCE. This is a survival choice, not a choice anyone enjoys, just a mechanism to survive.
Finish off funding the DC Lite test.It only needs about a million to finish the testing. If it works, we'll have a viable energy transmission system for rural Alaska. If it fails, we'll know to seek other solutions.

FYI, I wasn't excusing any of the examples you just listed lakloey - just making a point about how we all can commit some horrible blunders and most importantly learn from them.

If the consultant hired for this study is affiliated with the company in this link http://seekingalpha.com/article/55367-no... , then I'm concerned that the study outcome may be worthless.
Here's a quote from the article in the link "While there appears to be a fair amount of good old fashioned under-estimating of project development costs by Hatch Group, the mining and engineering consulting firm that prepared the construction estimate last year..."
if it is the same company, then there is good reason for concern.

Thomas, I think you're wrong about the Nome issue. Have some respect for the bereaved, get your facts straight before you throw out your statements- if you had, you'd not have raised the issue. There are still people hurting from that terrible issue.

The saying "those who live in glass houses shouldn't throw stones seems appropriate to this imbroglio" With that said, calling them a trashy family is a pretty base statement. I think we're discovering that they pretty much mirror the rest of Alaskans, just human.
Most Alaska governor's while in office had problems with their children and family but much of it never came to print. Want some examples? I won't name names, but many folks who spent time in Juneau knew of these incidents.
One governor had the state troopers go out to find his wife, because she was out on the town. Another former governor had problems with his daughter drinking underage. Our first governor's son reportedly had a still in the mansion. These are but a few of the domestic issues all of we humans have from time to time. Folks people are human, we all have imperfections. I'm certain there were many more that have and will transpire in future administrations.
We have a very young governor in office. A mistake made was to try and put on the face veil of perfection. And that is where the trouble starts - that veil is a lie, we can't be perfect, only human. Honestly I knew something would come to light eventually and now it has.
I recall the blame laid on the former governor and anyone associated with him. There were many good people who were dismissed with guilt by association. And perhaps many judged as unsuitable for the present administration because of their past poor decisions. I knew that eventually the claim of transparency would catch up and present itself in public.
For anyone to get on their high horse for unlawful transgressions; I challenge you to take a look at your past poor decisions and perhaps consider withholding condemnation when you examine your own escapades - I know that I have to do that every time I think to condemn someone for their transgressions.
In the end, I hope the governor and her family learn a lesson in humility. Christ said in Luke 6: 41-42 "Why do you look at the speck of sawdust in your brother's eye and pay no attention to the plank in your own eye? How can you say to your brother, 'Brother, let me take the speck out of your eye,' when you yourself fail to see the plank in your own eye? You hypocrite, first take the plank out of your eye, and then you will see clearly to remove the speck from your brother's eye.
Having more than a decade of wisdom over the governor, it is understandable to me how this would happen. I hope that the issue is brought to full light and that a lesson is learned by all.
Like many others I have learned some important lessons is humility and they were good lessons which made me a much more rounded person. None of us is without redemption for our mistakes, it's whether we learn from them that is important.

A great idea, which time has come. Let's get moving on this highway and others to bring affordable delivery of goods to places such as Nome and other places on the Seward Peninsula. These surface corridors should be priority one!
Now that the cost of air freight is approaching unaffordable heights it is time for surface transportation to be improved in rural Alaska. I don't care if it's a road or rail, it needs to happen post haste. We've tarried for far too long.

Great idea. Yes, the wood buffalo is indigenous to Alaska. The herd here went extinct, but not that long ago - several hundred years not so long ago.
Returning them is a wonderful thing. I'm glad there will be a food source for our Native Alaskans and the rest of us as well. Great that we'll be bringing a native food source back to our region.
