The figure I hear is about 20K......... obviously not all would be welders. Some would be longer or shorter term than others. A friend who worked on the Alaska pipeline in the 70's was there 3 years and made a bundle.
Edit - today I just spent $4.09 for regular, and that was the cheapest nearby.
I think the debate is about which route the pipeline will take, but that discussion is probably off topic and political.
