ALASKA REGIONAL ENERGY RESOURCES PLANNING PROJECT-PHASE 1 ALASKA'S ENERGY RESOURCES FINDINGS AND ANALYSIS VOLUME I

摘要

One fact is certain:Alaska is the storehouse of the nation's energy resources. Estimates of the State's resources are very large. However, an analysis of these estimates reveals that neither the actual extent nor the location of the State's oil and gas, coal, hydropower or uranium is fully known.nExperts don't agree on the methods used to appraise the State's energy resources, the nomenclature of the State's petroleum provinces and coal fields, or their configurations. The number and locations of potentially developable hydropower sites remains uncertain and there is only slight agreement on where new discoveries of petroleum resources are most likely to be found.
