    Well, they're talking about doing something about running Short on NG here on the Last Great Frontier, but talking about doing and actually doing are two totally different things.

    They will undoubtably pick whatever the cheapest temporary fix is they can find to get us through next winter.  The long term solution of piping the gas down from the Slope is too expensive and getting financing for it would be difficult.  Building said pipeline also would take more than a year even if they could get financing together by tomorrow so next winter could be a cold and dark one unless we luck out and get a mild winter this time around.

    Maybe they'll install wood burning stoves on each of the courts here.  We're right next to a park with lots of trees.
