Quiet Week

Too quiet in fact. Not a peep out of the Alaskan politicians and Federal Pipeline Coordinator Drue Pearce.

There was one Alaska Gas Pipeline / Denali Pipeline gloom and doom article this week. A former Canadian regulator predicts a long road ahead for the Denali pipeline. It's probably true - it's going to take a lot of work and some political will to make this pipeline a reality.

Meanwhile the world marches on - LNG from Africa is docking in Texas and the price of oil is up around $115/bbl.

Over the long term high oil prices will drive tar sand development and construction of the Alaska gas pipeline.

Thanks for your poll votes - looks like the Denali Pipeline is a hit.
