Fairbanks organizations protest Alaska LNG project as developers eye third special session

As the Golden Days street festival drew near its end Saturday, some Fairbanks organizations floated their opposition to the proposed Alaska LNG project — literally.

"The people pushing the AK LNG pipeline project are the same, arguably corrupt, wealthy people that would benefit from it. Surprise-it's not you or the state of Alaska who would benefit... Clearly, AK LNG is a SCAM!" www.adn.com/opinions/202...

Opinion: Who benefits from Alaska LNG, Alaskans or ... ?

If Alaska LNG is as transformative as its backers say, it can carry a fair tax and survive an honest accounting of who gets paid.

This petroleum economist explains why tax relief for the AK LNG project doesn't make this project more likely to happen. Tax relief only makes it more likely that the developer gets a bigger paycheck from the state when it eventually walks away from a non-viable project. www.adn.com/opinions/202...

Opinion: ‘Build the Line’ is a pressure campaign designed to amass power

Alaskans should not mistake a pressure campaign for evidence that the long-promised gas line is finally financeable.

LNG Projects Routinely Blow Past Cost Estimates

Multi-billion-dollar cost overruns for LNG infrastructure shift financial returns of these projects, creating risks for investors, and taxpayers.

Sen. Stedman called AKLNG developers’ $46B cost estimate “complete garbage.” So Glenfarne changed their tune - now estimating up to $54B. The reality is this figure is just more speculation. Tell your legislator: no giveaways for a project based on fiction, not facts. www.adn.com/opinions/202...

Opinion: Glenfarne’s Alaska LNG numbers still don’t add up

The company’s last-minute cost adjustments only raise more questions.
