The Associated Press

JUNEAU, Alaska — Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin is proposing an in-state natural-gas pipeline that could provide energy relief to the most populated areas of the state within five years.

Palin on Monday said the so-called in-state bullet line will not interfere with development of a proposed 1,715-mile natural-gas pipeline designed to take North Slope natural gas to Canada and then to U.S. markets.

Palin says an in-state line could run north from Cook Inlet, near Anchorage, to the state's interior region and Fairbanks — the state's second-largest city.

The prospective line could continue to the North Slope Foothills or potentially be connected to the proposed main line now under consideration by the Legislature.

Palin said the Alaska Natural Gas Development Authority and Enstar Natural Gas would become partners in the state project. The line would ship 460 million cubic feet of natural gas a day.
