<<koan, I think your efforts in Alaska were great. But Alaska had a very small population and still does. Hasn't Norway done essentially the same thing by creating a "fund" from their resource income?> True, that is why we liberals were able to prevail. Yes, and Norway has 10 times what we do because they did not have to pay off big oil. About 600 billion. And Norway was smart to set it up and it was liberals that did it there. <<What if a governor in Alaska NOW asked the legislature to END all extraction of carbon emitting resources so that global warming could be curtailed? Would you support that?>> No one would, which is why the feds need to force the states. That is why big government is sometimes the only answer e.g. getting rid of segregation. I will support the feds forcing all states to do what is needed, including my state.
