[QUOTE="ttown, post: 4114507, member: 2114"] They have to get gas prices up there so their green energy wins IMO. We had an engineer at Research that drove from Pawhuska everyday that converted his Toyota pickup to propane in the mid 80s and was saving a ton of money as there was no “road tax”. They need to start charging road fees on EVs (more than likely by the mile) as they do gas engines. They’ve already admitted that, can’t have gas being the same cost…. I doubt a population of 700k uses 500k barrels a day. The 5 refineries in Alaska can process 165k barrels a day it appears. Most houses used wood and/or electric when I lived there.I I didn’t realize hydroelectric use was so high on power generation @29% [ATTACH type="full"]409614[/ATTACH] [URL unfurl="true"]https://www.eia.gov/dnav/pet/PET_PNP_CAP1_DCU_SAK_A.htm[/URL] [URL unfurl="true"]https://www.eia.gov/state/print.php?sid=AK[/URL] [/QUOTE]
