There's one big reason Alaskan AMs aren't rushing to increase power, 
even when they could: the cost of power for transmitters is insane up 
there. We're accustomed to paying somewhere between 7 and 20 cents per 
kilowatt-hour here in the lower 48; it can easily cost four to five 
times that much on the Last Frontier, especially if stations have to 
generate their own in remote places like Nome.
