All the tracking that is polluting the land is an insult. What puts salt to the wounds is the fact that a lot of that energy will be sold to China and other customers overseas and not here. Prices for energy will go up here as a result. Corporations want to build LNG plants in Alaska so natural gas can be exported to the world market.
