Alaska's gas has been stranded because the economics weren't there to support development, ... But now that's changed. |
Any increase in oil production will just go to meet increased demand that has already taken place, ... Thus, any increase will not result in significant price reductions to consumers ... at best it will just keep them from continuing to spiral out of sight. |
Balance is the key in my opinion at the Department of Interior, and I think that Ms. Norton will provide that balance, |
By this letter I wish to formally notify you that I will continue to withhold my consent to the proposed realignment of Kulis Air National Guard Base in Anchorage and the 'warm storage' of Eielson Air Force Base until I receive assurances that the mission of the Air National Guard will not be compromised in Alaska, |

If you tinker with it you so do, as I've indicated a long time ago, at your peril. |
In the event California cannot repay generators for this power, the federal government is going to have to meet that obligation, because this was an order of the federal government, |
it's more of a political problem than a waste problem. |
Let us hope the hard drives are found. We don't need another crisis at our nuclear weapons laboratory. |
Our thoughts and prayers will be with them during this deployment just as they are with the victims of this terrible natural disaster. |
