What happens when the trans-Alaska pipeline shuts down? And who pays to remove it?
<p>This episode delves into a secret corner of Alaska's oil and gas industry — an obscure, complicated but important realm where there are billions of dollars at stake. Our two guests have written a <a href="https://alr.law.duke.edu/article/making-alaskans-whole-rocchi-vol41-iss2/">newly published paper</a> for the Alaska Law Review that examines the future of the trans-Alaska pipeline — what happens when it's ready to be decommissioned, who's going to pay, and how the state could work to make sure it's not left holding the bag.</p><p>Catherine Rocchi is regulatory lead at the Alaska Public Interest Research Group, a watchdog organization that includes the oil and gas industry in its portfolio. Phil Wight is an energy historian and an assistant professor at the University of Alaska Fairbanks.</p>
