Alaskan Congressional Delegation Opposes Chinese Pipeline Proposal

All three members of Alaska’s Congressional delegation — Sens. Ted Stevens (R) and Lisa Murkowski (R), and Rep. Don Young (R) — have announced their public opposition to an Alaska Gasline Inducement Act bid by Chinese-owned Sinopec. According to Associated Press (carried via Anchorage Daily News), Sen. Stevens opposes the plan because he believes Alaskan gas should not “be allowed to be exported”; the state of Alaska has not yet disclosed whether Sinopec’s proposal would indeed export the gas.
