Alaskan 'Conservagreenie' on Road, Mining Debate

Conservagreenie shares his unique perspective on Alaskas development and conservation, having lived there for 55 years. Initially a wilderness preservationist, he now supports responsible development after facing land acquisition challenges. His main concern is the proposed West Susitna Road Access Project, which he argues is primarily for mining, not public use. He questions the states funding of a $600 million road for foreign-owned mining companies, suggesting resources could be better spent on infrastructure or social programs. DNN | The Daily News Now!
