A Perennial Alaska Energy Challenge Q. Does Being Off The North American Gas/Elecetric Grid Point To Future Natural Gas Imports...Or An Economic ANS Gas Transportation Scheme? A. We have always held that Alaska's politicians, for once, should wisely support the due diligent efforts of private industry to create economic solutions to ANS gas export potential.
