From our Aussie energy analyst; more LNG from the Middle East: So, does a new tranche of Quatarian gas make North American LNG less or more competitive? Regardless of your answer does anyone dispute that Alaskan Arctic LNG, with the liability of financing an 800 mile pipe in the high cost North, will be the last to be financed (i.e. without government subsidy)? -dh Last week we reported on the Qatari announcement that the No. 1 gas exporting nation (but not quite No. 1 footballing nation) was lifting its [...]

From our friends at American Energy Alliance: Trust us. This isn't an anomaly. Inside Sources (3/30/17) reports: “Conservatives for Clean Energy seems like a right-leaning environmental group. After all, it has conservative in the name and its website praises “choice and competition” for providing benefits for consumers. Its website explains that the group “educates the public on the benefits of clean and renewable energy sources.” But is the group in fact more green than red? Despite its free market trappings, Conservatives for Clean Energy has financial ties to major [...]

Alaska Governor Wants Trump to Back LNG Pipeline “Socialism is the philosophy of failure, the creed of ignorance, and the gospel of envy.” —Perth, Scotland, 28 May 1948, in Churchill, Europe Unite: Speeches 1947 & 1948 (London: Cassell, 1950), 347.

When we read Frost's, The Road Not Taken, neither he nor we know if the path he took was best. Courtesy: Pinterest Heaven knows we've opined enough on the effect of hostile government policies on the ability of producers in high cost environments to continue producing taxes and royalties for their governments and profits for their shareholders. We've encouraged northern Alaska state and Canadian provincial governments to spend more time looking outward -- to better understand global competition. Instead, politicians on both sides of their national boundaries are [...]

If you had a multi-billion dollar private sector project... Courtesy Buzzfeed. ...would you hire a government bureaucracy to do it for you? Actually, this is what is happening. The citizens of Alaska elected a lawyer who takes over a private sector project, flies around Asia and the Lower 48 on marketing trips, and continues to operate LNG marketing offices in Japan and Houston while supporting tax increases on the oil industry and presiding over a state that refuses to significantly cut its operating budget while its subsidized budget [...]
