  1. Frankly, I disagree with the premise. Native Alaskans themselves are divided, half or more supporting the pipeline project for economic reasons. Biden met with their leadership before making the decision. The blunt truth is that there is a trade-off almost always between short term interests and longer term necessity. Business interests can’t be blind to environmental impact, and environmentalists can’t ignore economic impact. That is unless or until we can completely reinvent our economic structure.
