Why the blue bloody fuck are Alaskans paying so freaking much for oil?!?

My brain hurts just trying to wrap my head around that! :confused:

I suppose their arrogance will catch up to them sometime. Oh well. I'd take a crap load of cheap/free oil from Hugo Chavez. If someone is offering to help me and my family in a time of need, i'll take it.

maybe they can take the money they save by not needing AC, refridgeration, and freezers, and spend that on oil

I dont know why it costs so much to get oil in Alaska, but I gather low population with difficult access might have something to do with it.

The comments attributed to some Alaskins are in the article (linked to from the OP) are a worry also. Talk about arrogant idiocy. :rolleyes:

I kinda figure it is so expensive because they are trying to pay for that bridge to nowhere.

Without reading the link, i surmise it is because of refining capabilites and the ability to transport it there.
Not bad

They arent allowed to hunt whales for their oil nor personally explore for oil on their land. The rights of whales and Oil Companies are well protected by law.

That is easy, they are putting internets into the pipelines instead of oil. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Series_of_tubes ;)

That's a brainteaser almost as confusing as "What's the point of this bridge?"

"Ten movies streaming across that, that internet, and what happens to your own personal internet? I just the other day got...an internet was sent by my staff at 10 o'clock in the morning on Friday, I got it yesterday."
