This is a very big deal
INFRASTRUCTURE!!!
It connects Edmonton, AB and the Alberta Tar Sands petroleum reserve
To a Pacific port
That is one or maybe even two days closer
To east Asia
Than any other North American port
Edmonton already has great rail connectivity
To all the rest of Canada
And the USA
Meaning that any supplies needed by Alaska Manufacturing
Yes. I said FACTORIES in Alaska!!!
Can be shipped easily by rail
Rail lines are an ideal location to run a gas pipeline
And if they build one from Fort Macmurray, AB
To that Alaskan port in Anchorage
It would be an ideal place for an LNG plant
To serve any Pacific islands that can use it
Phillipines?
Indonesia?
Nauru?
Even NZ and Antarctica.
Floating on the ocean is pretty cheap
And it's an open run most anywhere on the Pacific
No straits
No territorial waters
No stormy southern capes to pass
AB-AK and AK-AB will make a sea change to the Arctic
And to the smaller Pacific island states
