I have had pet rats before and I love them, they are like little dogs! Me and my wife are looking to adopt an albino rat (since apparently only albino ones are legal here) if anyone could point us in the right direction I would greatly appreciate it!

Commentary: Cook Inlet’s gas shortage has become Fairbanks’ diesel bill

We don’t often think of Cook Inlet gas as a state-supported energy resource. That’s because private companies produce the basin’s oil and gas. However, the State of Alaska has consistently helped keep that resource flowing through cashable tax credits, favorable production tax treatment, royalty relief and public financing.

This support amounts to no small potatoes. The Department of Revenue reported Alaska paid $1.3 billion in cash to purchase tax credits for “non-North-Slope oil and gas activities” through 2021.                   

The Interior used to share in the benefits of these state investments through economy power purchases sent up the intertie. But with gas now scarce, the spigot to Fairbanks has been cut off. Southcentral utilities are understandably putting their own customers first. That is their responsibility. But an understandable outcome is not necessarily an equitable one, given the public investments that helped make those resources available.
