Troublesome Alaska Gas Pipeline/LNG Issues Involve the Saving/Losing of "Face" Opinion by Dave Harbour Understanding Asian culture and customs is critical for creating durable Asian business relationships Alaska has historically enjoyed business relationships with various Asian countries, including China, the Republic of Korea (ROK) and Japan. These relationships have traditionally evolved among private buyers and sellers of Alaska's natural resources, including minerals, liquefied natural gas (LNG), timber and seafood products. In some of these cases, government officials have used their 'bully pulpits" usefully: to diplomatically support these transactions, but [...]

By wpnorthern|2018-05-09T10:59:44-09:00May 9th, 2018|Alaska Governor Bill Walker|

John Hendrix (photo) was hired to advise Gov. Bill Walker on oil and gas matters and give the governor some cover in an area where he badly needs credibility. That was nearly two years ago. Now, Hendrix is heading for the exit. Some had been courting him to run for governor himself, but instead, he's found a landing at NANA. See Must Read Alaska story here. P.S. Here's a clip from Governor Walker's press release. We'll be interested to see how this works out. ("Mr. Hendrix will continue working with the [...]

Alaskanomics Scott Goldsmith. Northern Gas Pipelines photo by Dave Harbour We commend Northrim Bank (Northrim and its public service web page, Alaskanomics) for having long supported an approach adopted by Dr. Scott Goldsmith, now retired from the Institute of Social and Economic Research (ISER), the "three legged stool". This analogy equates the stability of the stool to an economy supported equally by 1. oil & gas industry taxes and spending, 2. federal government spending and 3. other resources. The only alteration we would suggest to the stool [...]

We appreciate the lucid and studied comments of our readers, including this one reflecting our last Friday's editorial: Author: Donald M. Bullock Jr. URL: https://northerngaspipelines.com/4-20-18-should-alaskan-politicians-align-their-states-future-with-communist-chinas/ Comment: Very well written Mr. Harbour. It is painful watching the Alaska Gasline Development Corporation (AGDC) going down the same unproductive path as the dead Alaska Gasoline Port Authority (AGPA). At this time, AGDC has no gas to sell. The State of Alaska also has no gas to sell until those lessees that have the exclusive right to produce the gas actually produce and convey [...]
