 GEOG: There is no direct power link from the lower 48 to Alaska. The  Continental electrical grid extends up to northern British Columbia,  then stops. The Yukon (which actually is between BC and Alaska) is  not "tied in to the grid", so therefore it would be impossible for  them to "draw power from the rest of the US", which is silly anyway,  because all the power they were drawing would actually have to go  through Canadian power lines.
