We are told that there will be 6000 jobs in this project. I used to work on Barrow loading tankers and the workforce was a total of about 9 men. So it is the usual spin that jobs are the main reason for this project.
It is also worth noting that when we have run out of our own oil and cannot afford to import more, poking handfuls US dollars into a cars fuel tank will not move it one inch.
Converting the car to gas and using some of the gas from the NW shelf IF THERE IS ANY LEFT will make it go.
