I don't see how the Alaskan Pipeline is a model for the Keystone XL pipeline.
It’s very simple. The proceeds from the pipeline are divided and paid annually to Alaskan citizens. I am not sure how this is calculated, but I could find out for ya. I am sure the state has a piece carved out as well. Back in the early 90s that was three thousand dollars. Alaskans Heart the pipeline! It is the perfect model, let the folks who work on it and give up property for it benefit. Not a politician in the country could justify voting against the people. It’s not free money either, it’s simply smart. No one has the canards to do it.. too much soy in our diets.
