I hadn’t seen this before, apologies if it’s already posted. Looks like they’re starting the road in one form. Not got the hippies overly happy, but seems rather positive to me

The best part of the article is this, selling the critical minerals in the region.


The West Susitna Access project was originally conceived as an approximately 100-mile industrial road, but Josie Wilson — the communications and external affairs director for AIDEA — said the corporation is still in the feasibility stages of the project and it is unknown whether the access will consist of a road, pipeline, or railroad.

Wilson said the feasibility process includes determining opportunities that exist in the West Susitna for renewable resource development.

“There’s a really important economy out there right now for green energy — you know, batteries, electric vehicle technology, solar panels — and all of those alternative energy require critical minerals,” Wilson said. “In that West Susitna area, we are very confident that there are quite a lot of those minerals that will help with a green economy.”
