Price of energy---Rural Alaska
The price of energy here in Anchorage is sufficiently high, but in rural Alaska it is even higher. Heat and electricity is one thing but gasoline for transportation is major. There aren't any roads to go from place to place but lifestyles have changed from dog sleds to snowmobiles that require gasoline at $8 or $9 a gallon. A day on a snowmobile subsistence hunting often consumes 25 gallons of gasoline. Then there are boats and ATVs. Interesting outcomes of lifestyle changes.
