Silo Breaker, reprint of Tim Bradner article.  Rock-bottom prices for natural gas aside, there’s a lot of worry that the new U.S. boom in gas production from shale in addition to foreign governments anxious to send their surplus liquefied natural gas to the U.S. will undercut plans for a $30 billion-plus Alaska gas pipeline.  It’s happened twice already.  rd time a strikeout?  A senior state official argues no, that Alaska’s gas is still in the game.  Mark Myers, most recently national U.S. Geological Survey director who now works on pipeline issues in the state Department of Natural Resources, says the threat from shale gas is overblown and Alaska’s gas can complete with that taken from shale.
