Gov. Sarah Palin has responded to ConocoPhillips’ gas line proposal with a series of documents prepared by her gas line team and provided to lawmakers on the Senate Resources Committee. The documents include an overview of the proposal, a 17-page critique of it, and a list of nine “Questions Alaskans should ask ConocoPhillips.”
“[A]ny analysis of ConocoPhillips’s alternative must ask: What benefits does it provide over those to be gained from a proposal that conforms to the AGIA requirements?” reads the critique. “The answer, simply, is none. To the contrary, the ConocoPhillips alternative is riddled with detriments.”
More later. Senate Resources is scheduled to hear from ConocoPhillips now.
