The gas pipeline is not going to be built until the glut of natural gas is burned off. Any effort to keep this project going is a waste of state money. The best use of our stranded natural gas on the North Slope is to convert that gas to energy at the well head, transmit that energy via HVDC to Fairbanks, and build out the Railbelt Energy Grid to as many Alaskan communities as possible. This is the fastest way for all Alaskans to gain maximum benefit from its stranded natural gas on the North Slope.
