text: Only if you can do it without expecting Alaskan's to give you a resource that belongs to us, and for us to foot the bill for much of your exploration and operating costs, and for us to continue to give your industry public money without accountability and guaranteed returns. As it stands, any benefit to the state from those oil workers you keep talking about are zeroed-out by us paying more for you to take oil than we are making from our oil. We'd be better off putting them in a job retraining program, and focusing our efforts elsewhere. 
  
  Kodiak is mostly (almost 100%) powered by renewables (wind and hydro). You might look into it if energy production is your thing. Wind will last forever, seems like an investment with far less risk to me, but you do with your money what you will – just don't ask for mine to support your business without some strings attached. More given the industry's long record of dishonesty and manipulation.
