I think that we all agree that there needs to be a long term plan for all Alaskans to reduce energy costs, but I assure you that you wont find very many individuals out of our 80,000 person poulation (The North Star Borough) that wouldn't invite a break on energy costs right now! It cracks me up that the Anchorage residents paying for the 2/3 natural gas as opposed to heating oil that negatively critiqe this plan. Start paying $900 a month during winter to heat your house to 67 degrees and keep the lights on and you'll understand what many interior residents are feeling!

This is almost too good to be true! There has to be a catch in it somewhere, or our Governor is the real deal! I like the fact that its not cash in our pockets but will be regulated to energy costs expenses that will cut back on all the illegitimte PFD recipients. The truth is that energy costs does have a lot of interior Alaskans pinned down pretty hard. I hope they can work this thing out and clean it up so that it works. As others have said we dont need Federal milk on this we have plenty of our own milk in our state and its good that they are doing this. I have heard lots of rumors of folks getting the biggest dividend we have ever seen this October and using it to move south! Something like this might slow down the ship jumping we have been foreseeing in teh interior. Saw the other day that interior Alaska residents have the highest energy costs in the nation and I have to agree with that, man will it be nice to cut that back some. Way to go Gov Palin!

Some of you folks just dont seem to get it do you. We are 100% COMPLETELY reliant on everyone else for everything. Its time we woke the hell up, quit procrastinating the whole "it'll be 10-20 years before we see it" mindset and start producing our own energy that we have in our own territories! I am so sick and tired of people calling ANWR pristine wilderness that will be ruined by oil fields....its BS! Not only do we need to drill in ANWR but we also need to drill offshore on both coasts, we need to also look into the energy we can create from Coal, Nuclear power and any other hi tech form of energy out there. If we dont , we will bankrupt this nation. And if I hear another person refer to people driving huge 4mpg trucks I think I am gonna lose it, cuz the reality is no one is driving 4mpg vehicles with gas and diesel prices what they are. Everyone I know myself included has cut back and done without many things because fuel is so expensive. We have cut back our national consumption by 20% since the start of the year, yet the barrel price climbs each day. Conservation is not the answer, independance is! The left wing liberal environmentalist are going to run this country into the ground and I cant believe we cant stop it!!!!

Its really very simple, either the state intervenes to help its residents or it says goodbye to them, as well as many of the local small businesses. This is no laughing matter, a town like Fairbanks cannot handle a massive ship jump to the lower 48 anymore than the residents can handle the rising energy costs in the coming winters. I can assure you that you wont be able to see 10 feet in front of you next winter with all the wood that is gonna be burned to supplement heat. Then the enviros will start a burn ban (Guaranteed) because air quality will suffer. Like I keep saying, I hope someone with a bigger pay check than mine is paying attention to what is happening.

I am so sick of the environmentalist scare tactic view points and influence. I say ditch the environmentalist and do what should be "being" done......DRILL IN AMERICAN SOIL! How many times are the dems gonna say "if you start drilling now it'll be 10 years before we see it!" If we had drilled 10 years ago we'd be seeing it now! And riding a bike is not a possibility for most of Alaskas residents, not to mention bicycles dont heat houses!

Its all great and dandy to support the troops but some comments about the reality of the situation are definately needed as well. There isn't a soldier who has spent any time in Iraq that doesn't know whats really going on and I can tell you from knowing a few pretty well that the nightime raids and the day to day patrols will continue probably forever or until we leave that place. We arent getting anywhere and the progress is both forward and backwards all the time. We havent got enough money and or logi to fix a conflict that is older than our nation is. I respect the troops that are going there to do that which they do, but we need to get out of there. The end result will be the end result regardless (muslims killing muslims) of how many trillions of dollars we spend there and the thousands of lost american lives there. Enough is enough already!

Thanks for the clarification. I was under the belief that the defintion for the term "TRAPPER" was much simpler. Something like "one who traps animals, mostly for the resale or use of their furs". Thats not near as descriptive as your definition.

Define barbarian living please. I believe what you would call barbarian, many would call a normal way of life.
