#1 I read an article that said that plentiful shale gas would kill the Mackenzie Delta pipeline and probably this (North Slope) one as well.

#2 Cap and Trade will begin a slow death as soon as it is instituted, tax under any name is still a tax. People are beginning to realize how false the entire CT process is, as it is based on false assumptions stemming from Global Warming/Gore-edicts. Worry not the end is near.

#3 I suspect natural gas extraction from shale will also be adversely affected by Cap & Trade, just in a different way from the North Slope situation. C&T is not just a tax, but a clamp on economic growth, which has always been related to energy use. The world economic crisis will IMHO put a clamp on the spread of C&T rather quickly, as businesses harmed by C&T lay off even more workers & shut down facilities they can't afford to keep open under C&T.
