Back to EpisodesAlaska's Mega-Projects: Costly, Controversial
Description
Despite support from the Anchorage Daily News, the Ambler road and natural gas pipeline in Alaska face criticism due to their exorbitant costs. Local residents near the Kobuk River oppose the road, fearing it will disrupt their traditional way of life and harm wildlife. Federal officials now favor doing nothing, citing irreversible damage to resources. Some suggest Alaska should focus on renewable energy, efficient buildings, eco-tourism, and education to diversify its economy.
