I don’t understand why this paper will not cover more about politics in the state? This is a huge disservice to the community to continue to support corporate lies and not even attempt to counter with the truth or dig deeper.

Read Shannon Moore in the ADN for more “Legislators’ conflict-of-interest standards are a joke”

Buccaneer was out of it’s league the whole time in good faith with these guys and got taken for a ride all the way to Alaska… stop the bs now, the truth will come out in court…

It was bad enough that Parnell ‘used’ to work for Connoco, this guy still does and his first order of business (from the ADN today)He is obviously overtly working for profit for Connoco shipping natural gas to Asia, and he doesn’t even see the conflict of interest.

“We’ve got a supply issue and the public needs to understand it,” freshman Sen. Peter Micciche, R-Soldotna, told Department of Natural Resources Commissioner Dan Sullivan.

For the public in Southcentral Alaska, the supply issue could mean that keeping their houses warm next year, or the year after, will require them to burn some natural gas from a place other than Cook Inlet.

For Micciche, it could mean the plant at which he’s superintendent — the Conoco Phillips liquefied natural gas plant in Kenai — never exports gas again. The plant, the first of its kind in the United States, relies on a surplus of Alaska gas for shipment to Asia.”

Meanwhile, I read recently that Buccaneer sold their natural gas from Kenai to an undisclosed buyer at double the price.

Asia is buying for double the cost. Intelligent people can put two and two together, so stop telling us we are running out, and stop expecting the state of Alaska to pay for infrastructure and give tax credits to corporations so they can make a killing selling our gas to Asia.

The state really needs to look into drilling for and selling our own oil and gas. I am tired of this ridiculous abusive relationship, where the corporations beat us up, demand more and more and don’t even bother with common sense. It’s insulting. It’s their way, and they are never happy, it is never enough. What are we, a bunch of battered wives? We need to stand up for ourselves here.
