they said "nothing penciled out" but I would be curious to see an actual explanation of the costs of various energy sources... I can't imagine natural gas would have been that much more expensive, and in terms of indirect financial costs would likely have been a better choice (creating much less localized pollution)
- AlotOfReading 8y agoMy understanding is that natural gas has to be trucked in from the south, as the North Slope doesn't export it overland. I could easily imagine the local coal mine being cheaper, especially accounting for winter supply mitigations.
