Alaska is cold, obviously, but Finland has 5.5 million people and it's cold there too — just didn't want the book to turn into a weird treatise on Alaska. — PolitiTweet.org

My take is that "throw out all of Alaska, then triple the population and you're talk about half the density of Germany" is if anything an undercount since Alaska is obviously not in fact uninhabitable. Why shouldn't Anchorage be a big city? — PolitiTweet.org

100 percent of the relevant tradeoff is between preserving wild land and using land for natural resource extraction (mining, logging, ranching, etc.) — the book doesn't take a position on that tradeoff, but I am not proposing we turn national parks into new subdivisions. — PolitiTweet.org

@mattyglesias Is it reasonable to ask how much wild land/undeveloped land you envision in this scenario?
