(Our NGP comment: “Earth to Meyer. Your greatest AGDC challenge is trying to run a government funded, governor supervised, legislative oversighted, highly regulated, taxed, politicized, and socialized project as if it were a freely developed enterprise — which it is not. Just wait until the enviros & socialists & feds decide to attack the project: they’ll have a field day with the bear skin nailed to the door of the Houston office.” -dh)

New Alaska Gasline Development Corp. President Keith Meyer directly addressed what he sees as one of the biggest challenges to building a gasline during his first board of directors meeting, and it had nothing to do with the cost of the project.
“AGDC has an observable poor relationship with key legislators and legislative committees. I’ve seen it in the press and I’ve felt it in the (legislative) hearings. This has to change,” Meyer said July 14 during a presentation to the board.
About two weeks earlier, legislators peppered Meyer with questions for more than four hours during a marathon joint House-Senate Resources Committee hearing in which he, and representatives from BP, ConocoPhillips and ExxonMobil gave their perspectives on the status of the $45 billion-plus Alaska LNG Project.
