If I remember correctly, the Cook Inlet port route requires the President's approval to run this pipeline through Denali National Park.  I am sure he will be glad to sign off on this minor details.  Just for fun, let's add in that Cook Inlet is too shallow and filled with glacier silt for the lower drafting LNG tankers to safely maneuver.  Who is going to pay the constant, extensive, and pricey dredging which will be needed to keep this port open for LNG tankers?  Valdez was and still is the only viable port for Alaska's stranded LNG.  But the citizens of Alaska wanted it to be Valdez via a Citizen's Initiative approved by 70% of the voters which was ignored and buried by Palin/Walker/Juneau/Big 3, so too bad Alaska.  Then the Kenai Peninsula legislators made sure their Cook Inlet route replaced the voter approved Valdez route, and these voters happen to be the owner's of Alaska's natural resources, but let's skip over this minor detail to enrich Kenai's pocketbooks at your expense.
