A thought on the refinery in Alaska. The short summer and other factors might
make it not very cost efective to refine in Alaska. Also there are the ice fogs
created by the power plants - it might be worse with a refinery. I have had to
drive in it!!!! Ugggggg!
Then the chance of a quake in the Anchorage area like the last one. There were
large cracks in the earth as far up as Fairbanks.
Then ther are permafrost melts under the roads and I would think it would make
for a problem finding a place to build. You have to watch were you build a
house and I have seen the road south out of Fairbanks have dips that were feet
not inches from this.
