Calling it a landmark work that will help advance development of a project to boost the economy of Alaska and the nation, Gov. Tony Knowles today received the final report of his Alaska Highway Natural Gas Pipeline Policy Council. The product of a year's worth of public hearings and discussion, Knowles received the report at the annual convention of the Resource Development Council (RDC). (Photo: Governor Knowles-center, with Council Cochairmen Jim Sampson-L and Frank Brown-R.) "We know there's no better way to jump-start our nation's economy than by commercializing our huge North Slope natural gas reserves and create thousands of good-paying jobs across scores of industries," Knowles said. "The challenge is: with our remote location and high cost of development and transportation, can we Alaskans be smart enough, fast enough, innovative enough to get them to market?" Knowles had appointed 28 Alaska business, civic, and government to serve on his Gas Policy Council early in 2001. After the nearly year long analysis of the subject that included 37 meetings in seven different communities, and hearing from more than 100 Alaskans and experts, the council produced what Knowles called a ground-breaking piece of work. "They've considered the merits of state participation as a gasline investor, how to ensure Alaskans and Alaska businesses are put to work, how to ensure access to the gas for Alaskans, and ultimately how to propel Alaska into the natural gas business," Knowles said. "It will serve as a blueprint for achieving the interests of Alaskans as we work to move our enormous natural gas reserves to market." The final report contains 61 recommendations in all, including:
"We also want Alaskans to go to work on a gasline project, but as the council reminds us, for this to occur we first need to train Alaskans for these jobs," Knowles added. "Another important conclusion by the council is that a connection for gas off-take on a high-pressure pipeline will be costly and that these should be placed at strategic locations. To meet the clean energy needs in Fairbanks, Anchorage, and other communities, spur gas pipelines from these hubs could be constructed." With the report in hand, Knowles said the next logical question is, what now? "All of the pieces of the puzzle for an Alaska Highway natural gas pipeline are before us. It's now up to the commercial interests to fit them together," Knowles said. "I think we're close and I hope that all of the companies involved will continue their commitment to this process. Alaska is America's energy gem. We have the oil and the gas and we want more than ever to deliver it to America and do so in a way that protects this land we all love."
