A straight energy pipeline is one thing. on it's face, this proposal doesn't appear to be that. Not to mention the oil and natural gas in Alaska are similar resources as to what's in Russia.
Infrastructure linkages are generally a given once there is a pathway. It appears to be a fairly easy add-on to tunnels and many tunnels plan-in additional uses and some bit of expansion. A good parallel to look at is the EU Chunnel which used similar boring technology and a similar design minus the islands in the middle.
