Today in Anchorage

So how is natural gas hydrofracking going in Alaska.

The Eskimos want paid off.

You have much to learn about fracking.

Corporation dividends are dandy.

What would Exxon-Mobil do?

What would Exxon-Mobil do?

They don't need to frack for gas. The gas they have rights to up north is at a fairly high pressure. Everything is designed for 15,000 psi at the wellhead. There's a pile of people in the state who think they are dragging their feet on developing that gas, but it's quite a project to handle those pressures.

You mean floes?

And there's none of those to be seen this time of year, even up north. You're welcome to look at NOAA's sea ice analysis forecast to see for yourself.
