Back StorySometimes its best to cut your losses. Thats what an oil company was thinking at the end of 1967, after a year of digging holes in the North Slope of Alaska that came up dry.
But on a final try, it found what was the largest oil field in the U.S., the day after Christmas. That gift began to pay off on this day in 1977, when the Trans-Alaska Pipeline started to pump oil.
The 800-mile pipeline, quickly built after the 1973 Arab oil embargo, carried the lifeblood of Alaskas economy from the edge of the Arctic to the ice-free port in Valdez, the nearest city for oil tankers to transport oil.
The four-foot-wide tube of half-inch-thick steel zigzags across three mountain ranges and about 800 rivers and streams. Because it carries warm oil, half of it runs above ground on trestles to avoid melting the surrounding soils permafrost.
The North Slope where it can get so cold that workers are advised against wearing contact lenses because they can freeze and stick to the eye has produced as much as one-fifth of the nations oil; today, its about 10 percent.
But those workers, and indeed all Alaskans, dont have to pay personal income or sales taxes.
The state collects a royalty and a production tax for every barrel. That pays for most of the state government and the multibillion-dollar Alaska Permanent Fund, which pays dividends to residents about $2,000 per person annually in recent years.
