Our esteemed Gov. Sean Parnell has given various reasons to justify his veto of the Homer Area Natural Gas Pipeline Project the Alaska Legislature intended to serve the southern Kenai peninsula.
Last year he approved a regulation station and gas pipeline to serve Anchor Point (greater area population 1,150), as well as a separate reg station to serve Nikolaevsk. 
This year he says he does not believe in projects that serve only one community, meaning a pipeline  from Anchor Point through Homer to the east end of Kachemak City with a combined population 6,980, but he did approve a gas main which will only serve Nikolaevsk, population 318.
