This book explores the land cover, renewable energy and natural gas issues facing Alaska today. The land surface of Alaska is sparsely populated and the impacts from humans are far less extensive when compared to the contiguous United States. A brief survey of renewable energy technologies applicable to Alaska's climate, latitude, geography, and geology is also discussed as are Alaska's natural renewable energy resources and which renewable energy technologies would be most productive. This book also provides a review of the history of efforts to develop an Alaskan natural gas pipeline, including project status, recent developments, and the current project outlook.
