| Home | (CBC News) - The proposed Mackenzie Valley natural gas pipeline could face some competition for southern markets, after Alaska officially announced it's seeking bids to build a North Slope pipeline through the state. Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin announced Tuesday that the state is ready to receive applications to build the 5,600-kilometre pipeline, which is expected to cost more than $20 billion US. The pipeline would transport the North Slope's vast natural gas reserves to markets in the U.S. Midwest. |
