The author is entitled to his opinion, but not his own facts.  Lets dispel the deceptive nonsense spewed by the author.

The gas line project is what Alaska voters have asked for.  We had an election, and Alaskans- by a landslide- asked Alaska to go forward with an LNG export project.  2002, 136,000 "yes" votes.

So Parnell wasted $1 billion on studies for things that made no sense.  Such as,  a pipeline the Lower 48.  And a "bullet" line.   This of course delayed the Alaska project voters asked for.  

Alaska does own natural gas.  Over 250 trillion cubic feet of estimated reserves just along the North Slope.  The non- producers have a lease-hold interest.  If they fail to honor their  leases, they get booted off.  It takes legal expertise to make that happen.

The Alaska LNG project will not be built if it is not economic.  The price of the project will be far, far less than $65 billion.  AGDC is working on that right now.  This is what scares those that want our gas warehoused.
