"I went to work on the trans alaska pipeline in 1977, I cried when I had to leave Prudhoe Bay and go back to Boston, 1981, I flew back to Alaska and stayed."

There was a PBS special on the Alaskan Pipeline recently. It looks like quite a feat of engineering. As someone who lives there now (as a result of the piplein), how have you find that the pipeline has affected yours and other's lives 30 years later?
