An op-ed carried in the Alaska Dispatch today criticizes Gov. Sean Parnell’s (R-Alaska) approach to developing an LNG export project for Alaska’s North Slope natural gas reserves. Governor Parnell has called for a natural gas pipeline and an LNG liquefaction facility in southern Alaska to process and ship the state’s gas to Asia, but the author of the op-ed argues that the Governor’s mandate that the project proceed under the framework of the existing Alaska Gasline Inducement Act makes it economically unattractive.
