AK has massive trapped natural gas resource. Only able to access the stuff in Cook Inlet, close to ANC. The stuff up north requires around $40bn to get south enough for urban use or export. Nobody wants to spend that much on the pipeline, let alone have the state and private venture folks figured out where to route it. Probably not going to happen. There is a plan to build an off shore CNG port and plant once the ice cap recedes enough for easy shipping to Asia. Seems the West Coast has banned the use of NG. Let them burn kale to keep warm
