Cutting the state deficit will always be a reason to absolutely reelect this governor.
He is doing a groat job.
Axe the no bid contract, this state has enough free money.
Time to get this project going.
Now!
This Governor has my vote.
I am an Alaskan.
NAK should hire Elon Musk to build one of his tube transport systems at the pebble mine.
They should then get the ore far away from salmon spawning grounds.
Tube it from mine to a port facility built at sea level.
Then send the spoils to Canada for refining. Keep the tailing.
It may be what it takes to finally get this mine in operation.
The state needs new revenue, fast, or the elected officials will pilfer the state savings account.
We need this revenue. From the jobs, surcharges and fees.
Open pit mining should not be allowed.
Yes
It is Jeff Beck group - going down
The MM's want CVSI down and so be it.
The state of Alaska need's to partner with NAK. It should use it's massive perm fund to do a hostile takeover.
Then permit it and open it.
That's why we need to send ore there, keep gold in Alaska.
This cannot be a get Canada rich program.
Nak will have so much money after it opens that they can and will buy any permit it want's an or need's.
Can I print this?
Mod's?
Yup it's just the beginning.
Looks like the presses are printing $$$$ right now. Next Nak should be striking coinage, as in artist proof's, out of all the gold in pebble.
NAK should mint a special coin just to sell to the wack jobs out there in Californy.
By the way, The pollution solution is to take the ore to Canada to refine. That would be such a job maker that we would probably have to hire Californians to do the work for us.
We need carrots.
Lot and lots of carrots.
Have some 24 carrots of gold.
This is why the state af
Alaska needs to own this.
Dangling 24 carrots.
They are going to get eaten by the wabbits.
Thais what we are hunting.
24 carrot eating wabbits.
NAK's high grade ore is worth .80 cents
No more DELAYS
I, for one, as in one resident, thinks that:
The state of Alaska should partner w/ NAK
The state of Alaska should buy out this project with our perm fund
This state has 65 to 70 billion in fund assets. NAK
There is a crap load of ore that really needs to be sent to Canada.
This state could bleed money from pebble if they had to transport.
Think of the additional jobs.
This was below .50 a share, when this mine opens you may never see sub dollar again. so the fund would increase as would my dividend.
I also think the parking lot for the debris from this mine needs to be some oil sand tar pit in Canada. They will need one hell of a lot of fill for that one.
Now there's a vendetta.
I think
Toxic open pit mining is good and leaves environment in better condition?
open pits destroy the land beyond repair. Mega cleanups anyone?
Now lets burn some coal and destroy the air why we are at it.
This F_ck the world mentality has to stop.
That is not intelligent.
Open pebble and take the pollution to Canada.
Do not wipe out this pristine place with your pits.
Copper river reds are the highest quality salmon in the world.
They are so good that we don't even have to advertise for the sale.
The news media does this for us.
Thee very best 5 star restaurants from around the world actually contract with fishermen to helicopter them fresh caught from boat to airport, then fly to destinations world wide. Chefs cannot get enough for that market.
Most people will not even be able to afford such a delicacy.
It is like tasting beef from taco bell compared to milk fed beef from Japan.
You cannot compare the two.
Low cost electricity?
We are forfeiting this by allowing big oil to mercilessly flare there excess gas instead of giving us free power for heat and electricity.
This I think is a travesty.
Big oil: you suck.
All pollution and ore sent to Canada for refining good.
Money from mine, jobs, taxes, and a clean environment left here in Alaska very good.
Open pebble. very good.
California breaks off and falls into the ocean very good.
Open pit mine bad. Smart tunnel mine w/rail and port to send ore to Canada for processing good.
Outside influence bad. Jobs and an accelerating economy good.
Flaring gas bad. Using flared gas for free energy good.
Canada owned mine bad. State of Alaska owned mine good.
Where do er get off?
The reason we here in Alaska do not like the pebble mine is:
{and I am a physical conservative, so I really don't line up with either party) is:
The state of Alaska should probably own this mine or (ore) at least this that it sits on state land. I think.
We do not want an environmentally destructive open pit mine in this delicate and pristine environment.
This mine absolutely could be opened with minimal damage. We have to send all of the extract's to Canada for refinement. No pollution here.
That would add so much additional infrastructure, jobs and income both public and private. Spreading wealth without handouts.
This would create state and private revenue. This mine could easily afford this.
That would also put the NRDC nonsense to rest, as there would be minimal impact to our state. " Stoner is gone "
We ship oil outside, we can ship ore just the same.
Open pebble mine, in a socially and environmentally sound way.
All my opinion.
I suggested that the state go just out side of the claim, then go straight down and then diagonal drill and or tunnel. We will call it diagonal mining. To hell with Canada's claim.
The oil mining giants already have this approved and do it regularly as to lessen foot print at north slope.
We should just go down and over and take the pure vein bro,
I am with that.
But the waste would stay here if this method is implemented.
If Canada owns this we get clean energy, jobs and windfall profit just from the stock. Wed haven't even covered State taxes.
The free energy should come from state flaring of excess gas at the North Slope. The mine should pay for the generator for state ownership.
My opinion
The truth is I am correct.
With the fund we could own this, no fairy tale.
This state does not want to open this mine because of the destruction from open pit mining. And I agree. In trying to find a solution for both sides, I do think that the mine could be opened with no impact to the region.
By tunneling One hole, build a rail, a port then get this crap as far away from here as possible and Canada owns this.
This state needs a new source revenue aside from oil in the pipe.
The state would extract local hire jobs, levy's and fees for the sale of product and transporting the ore.
Just trying to find common ground for capitalist, entrepreneurs and believers in free enterprise, and those pesky environmentalist.
Of which I resemble all of these.
This is my opinion.
Long live .80s
Next week?
"Alaska's Permanent Fund needs to buy this company"
The state could own this for a song.
After they do a hostile take over and own NAK by proxy, they can make them send the ore to Canada for processing and refining, just like we do crude.
This is my opinion.
What would happen if the state of Alaska bought every share of NAK it could get it's hands on?
It could easily do this with money from the Perm Dividend Fund.
Then they would own this company by proxy and profit from the stock appreciation after this mine opens.
That would also give Alaska another incentive to open this project.
Also
I think pebble mine needs to take all the ore to Canada to process.
We do this with all the crude oil now, we can do it with ore.
Look at lake Michigan.
I think Canada should take the tail ling's and leave the gold in the form of jobs, rails, ports a generating station at the north slope as well as taxes, fees and any other way to siphon capitol from this Canadian project here in Alaska. This could the beginning of what it might take to make this mine more palatable to the local citizens and the state of Alaska?
This is my opinion.
I see your viewpoint.
In my viewpoint: we do need to open pebble mine.
In my viewpoint: we absolutely need to ship all the ore to Canada for processing. as to never take the risk of harming such a productive and pristine environment.
In my viewpoint: the state would accept This, as would the local tribal consortium's.
In my viewpoint: we pipe, ship, then process all of the oil from the north slope to California. Then California ship's it all the way round trip back to us for heat and power for our homes and villages.
It is the same concept except except it is a liquid.
We can easily do the same with the extracts from pebble.
We just don't want any of the tailing's back. Just send us the precious metals.
Au h2o
I think one of the problem's I have is that the mine is owned by Canada.
The State of Alaska Permanent fund need's to buy every share of NAK it can, then partner with them.
As a partner and major shareholder The State of Alaska would tell NAK how they are going to mine pebble.(tunnel mine and send ore to Canada for processing) Canada will take the tailing's and leave the Au. instead of the other way around. Over 1 trillion in Au and who knows how much rare earth.
As a share holder, the state of Alaska would enjoy decades of sustained growth after the stock goes into blue sky territory, and they sell 1/2.
Then:
The State of Alaska should build a hotel at the mine for tourist to see how we run a mine with zero impact. Cottage cheese industry.
Then make them hike back to the port fishing all the way with local Alaskan natives as guide, mandatory.
Au H2o
To open mine Northern dynasty needs to:
Build an electric rail from mine to port.
Build port to ship all materials extracted from said mine to Canada for refinement.
The Alaska perm fund needs to buy out all shares of NAK.
Alaskans will then own this project by proxy.
Then we will tell NAK how they are going to mine this 1 trillion dollars worth of proven deposits.
No open pit mining is to be allowed (period) do to the nature of nature.
0 = none
1 hole will be allowed, then ore shipped out.
Leave the gold as in jobs, rail, port. shipping, and 5% net goes to state for budget, and 20% net goes to native corporations.
Only net profit as mine needs operating capitol to even begin.
How about gold stays here and pollution goes to Canada for them to deal with. Yo?
After the mine opens and or even on the announcement of opening, this stock will go blue sky. remember we will own this by proxy.
This will fund the state of Alaska for years.
Then:
Build an electric power plant at the slope for this mine.
We will burn all the gas being flared (wasted) by big oil for no charge to them.
We will do there flaring for them. Free.
Run a trunk to mine and add a spur to all Alaskan villages and towns.
Being Canada is a socialist nation they should agree to this.
Thank you for this forum.
