Marketplace: Alaska wants its natural gas NOW

Alaska is trying to force the oil companies to extract natural gas faster. This is possibly the first case of long term thinking by oil companies and they are being punished for it. Is it immoral to save for the future? Maybe they think natural gas will be worth more in 10 years, in which case they would like to extract it then. Alaska should encourage and even legislate slower extraction - it's good for the environment and for the long term financial stability of Alaska.
