...seawall that islanders had hoped would have held back the surge. As the birds head home, a constant parade of dump trucks line up in a parallel path heading west along the seawall road to a massive emergency landfill by the airport. The city expects up to 1.5 million cubic yards of debris will be removed from homes an businesses. Out on the water, where swimming is still forbidden because of fears of disease, the seagulls have claimed new perches on pilings that once supported beach bars and restaurants, among them the famous Balinese, a nightclub where the Rat Pack...
...Three oil companies to tap their huge natural-gas reserves in the state's North Slope, the long swatch of northern Alaska tundra that includes the largest oil and gas fields in North America. For decades, ExxonMobil, ConocoPhillips and British Petroleum had little incentive to sell the trillions of cubic feet of natural gas that shares space beneath the ice with all those oil deposits. Gas is less profitable than oil and much harder to move to market. The majors could afford to wait until the economics of gas were more favorable before embarking on a multibillion-dollar pipeline project...
...project was held hostage by hard-line tactics, critics say. Palin's administration revoked ExxonMobil's leases of Point Thompson, a giant North Slope oil and gas field, for failing to put the area into production over three decades. Palin chided the company for "warehousing" 8 trillion cubic feet of gas. A state judge upheld the state action but said ExxonMobil and its partners should be given another chance to prove themselves. In February 2008 the company submitted a $1.3 billion plan calling for production of 10,000 bbl. a day of gas condensate to begin in six years...
...month a county judge dissolved an injunction that had prevented Chicago from razing the acquisition area until the environmental impact could be measured. Unless an appeals court steps in as Bensenville's 11th-hour savior, the path is clear for the bulldozers to start rolling. And while 14 million cubic yd. (11 million cubic m) of dirt have already been moved in the reclamation, a small plot of sacred soil continues to stoke debate: the project's footprint covers the 1,300 graves in St. Johannes Cemetery, which the city says it will be forced to unearth. The forecast...
...become a more secure nation then we had better start supplying our very, very hungry markets across the nation with American supplies of energy. And up here in Alaska we're sitting on billions of barrels of oil. We're sitting on hundreds of trillions of cubic feet of natural gas onshore and offshore. And it seems to be only the Republicans who understand that companies should be competing for the right to tap those resources, and get that energy source flowing into these hungry markets so that we will be less reliant on foreign sources of energy...
