Alaska has half the country's coal reserves. Much of it is wet coal, and low sulfur. The wet coal can be converted by hydrothermal processing or hot-water drying, which yields a liquid coal-water fuel that can be burned almost like oil. Some roads would have to be built to get at the coal.

The friendly folks at Union Pacific and BNSF might be interested in building the road.
