Gas line announcement: CORRECTED
Published Wednesday, March 26, 2008
Gov. Sarah Palin's administration will announce in the next few days when and where it would hold a special legislative session to consider the TransCanada natural gas pipeline proposal if it decides to go ahead with the plan, Palin's spokeswoman, Sharon Leighow, said Wednesday.
It will also announce when it will complete its findings and issue a decision on the proposal, according to Leighow. That date is likely to be some time in mid-May.
(Leighow said earlier that the upcoming announcement would include the decision on the proposal. It will not.)
Teams of state and outside experts are currently reviewing the proposal and public comments submitted on it. The decision of whether or not to issue a state license is ultimately up to Revenue Commissioner Pat Galvin and Natural Resources Commissioner Tom Irwin.
If the administration does decide to move ahead with the plan, lawmakers will have 60 days to review the proposal and vote on it.
All Alaska... Smart Gasline Network
Elegant Architecture built by Intelligent People for a Sustainable Comfortable Future
Many little intelligent tubes..
..a cardiovascular system for the BigDipper.
Just pour in 100tcf in the top,
and 87.5tcf comes out the bottom,
while Alaska lights up in the middle.
Build a thermoplastic 3" 200psi CNG gasline from Nuiqsut to Anaktuvuk first.
SPARTAN GAS PIPE
PE 3408 (Black Gas & Oil) ASTM-D2513
High Density
SDR 7.3 (Maximum Working Pressure is 255PSI)
3” G6065 500’roll 12,000’per truckload
cost $343.62 per 100'
$3.2mil for 160mi gasline
Drop in another one of these to Arctic Village too..
255psi will handle LPG-NGL's too.
Build a 27mile 8" RTP-gasline from Galbraith to Chandalar.
143,000ft @ $10ft $1.43mil

A $26B 1715mile 48" big-steal pipeline will cost $15,160,350 per mile == $2,872 per foot
....a real steal of a deal !!! .....barf ! barf ! gag,BARF!!!

Built by Alaskans for Alaskans using Alaskan NGL's to make the polyethylene.
It would be much cheaper, safer, quicker, and better to build two 24" subsea RTP-gaslines to WA-state... and a 8" spurline to Hawaii too.
These would also double-up as super-sized fiber-optic communication cables too.
Subsea LNG-gaslines don't need to be cryogenic-refrigerated because the pressure below 2500' keeps it liquid.
[same thing goes for LNG-submarine tankers too]

COUNTING MOLECULES, SELECTING ATOMS....

Methane is found in many different places in Alaska, not just the mind-boggling super-abundance outgassing to the thin and fragile atmosphere..
..a statewide network of plastic plumbing is needed to manage the widespread methane and complex hydrocarbon resources.
Alaska's methane is a threat to the stability of the atmosphere, it's worth less than the oxygen in the air. Trying to focus only on the money and not on the science of geochemistry and atmospherics is stupid and silly.
And using old technology to power the world with crude oil is even much worse than messing with the super-abundance of methane.
Plastic pipe production facilities built in Fairbanks and Anchorage will provide thousands of sustainable jobs and will supply all different types of pipeline materials..
good for gas
good for oil
good for LRCWF
good for freshwater
good for sewage
good for mining slurries
good for CO2 H2S resequestration
good for data-pipes
you can even pump fish from hatcheries through plastic pipes too...
...and don't forget the valuable aqueous gametophytes for bog-farms.
Building a big iron pipeline is totally stupid toxic thinking.. the design is based on a list of needs written by speculators and saboteurs.
Outside speculators have long dreamed of a big-iron battleship pipeline since long before 1923.
They sent saboteurs to burn down the independent Alaskans oil operation at Katalla in 1933.
I remember the boomtown times of TAPS..
if TAGS is gonna be another big steel overpriced cost-plus++ boondoggle I think you are naieve and asking for troubles you never imagined.
Addicted to boom&bust,100years from now Fairbanks could be a smoking cinder ghost town.
30years past TAPS, and squandering billions of state-oil dollars later, Fairbanks is still a struggling disorganized backwater littered with the tracks&trash of speculators and boomers who are long since gone and spent their profits elsewhere.
Teaching Alaskans to pass gas with grace and civility is like teaching hillbilly high-skool hooligans proper potty training.
