Palin's gas pipeline...on the drawing board since the 1970's...

ANCHORAGE, Alaska (Reuters) - A long-delayed natural gas pipeline championed by Gov. Sarah Palin that would carry supplies from Alaska to Canada and then to the lower 48 states exists in concept only and is years away from fruition.

The vice presidential hopeful, in her speech Wednesday to the Republican National Convention, said she fought to bring about "the largest private-sector infrastructure project in North American history" to bolster America's energy security.

"And when that deal was struck, we began a nearly $40 billion natural gas pipeline to help lead America to energy independence," Palin said.

But plans for the pipeline that would ship gas from Alaska's North Slope -- a project envisioned since the 1970s -- remain on the drawing board.

"No, it hasn't been started, and that's on the record," said Paul Laird, executive director of the Alaska Support Industry Alliance, an oil field service trade group.

Who was Fanny Hill? Lost a few brain cells, here

and the Corrupt Bastards have been fighting over this profit stream like wolves.
This alone explains about 95% of Alaskan politics, and especialy why Sarah Palin
was trotted out to save the governorship from Dem control and Murkowski's inevitable defeat.

At least earlier this decade...
