Alaska Governor to Consider a Confederacy of One?

Alaskan Governor Walker (not Scott Walker) made an impolitical poutish reply to a question about Alaskan secession from the nation over the President Obama's wise decision to protect some national Wildlife critical habitats from the rapine and plunder of oil corporations.

The new governor should sound more patriotic and be for secure borders including sea level and shorelines. If anyone were to plunder and drill ANWR the coastal plain could subside when the oil is gone, and global warming could send late season storms to surge ashore.

The Alaska government gave 341 million dollars to study drilling Cook Inlet to produce gas to send to the Interior-more kick-back for the fossil fuel loyalists. If Fuel cell power plants cost $20 million each the state could have bought about 18 power plants for Fairbanks and North Pole and got something real for the money.  Governor Walker could see himself as a potential Jeff Davis (who ended up retiring to Biloxi) able to take Alaska to a new confederacy of one, yet that's too stupid to mention.

The price per barrel of oil is likely to be very low the next 15 years with the entire world's oil fields potentially recoverable with fracking. The United States is the world's largest oil producer already because of fracking, and Russia, Saudi Arabia, Venezuela and other countries haven't even got started yet. Oil main remain at 40 dollars a barrel or less quite a while yet solar power and fuel cell tech is advancing. Alaska interior cities should look for fuel cell power plants and even super-conducting lines in the years ahead and make real investments in that direction instead of looking to the past when oil was the new tech.

Alaskan fuel cell plant operators could be trained outside then return for good jobs locally instead of crews from Asia arriving to install some pipelines for global oil corporations at minimum wage before disappearing over the horizon.

It is possible that a revenutionary war to get rid of N.P.R. would be adequate cause, but assuredly taking Alaska out of the U.S.A. in order to prevent national Wildlife Refuges from being formed is the work of an true oil groupie seeking more from his main revenue supplier. If the state were to diversify it could have a better time of negotiating with the global oil corporations that know Alaska politicians are retarded pushovers on the subject.
