8-3-18 Friday Musings

Friday Musings: Commentary: Nakedness We are extremely disappointed with republican Kevin Myer and Alaska's current democrat lieutenant governor for their continuing support of Governor Bill Walker's socialized LNG export scheme. For years we have provided evidence that in wake of lower shale-induced gas prices and extensive LNG export competition the producers have been right in proclaiming that, for an Alaska North Slope gas export project, "now is not the time". Alaska's mostly tidewater based competitors do not have to include the cost of a massive, 800 mile Arctic gas pipeline. [...]

7-31-18 Alaska Business Leader Opines On China

Alaska/China Bedfellows -Opinion- China purchases a Papa Bear's percentage of Alaska's prodigious seafood market. No worries, though, because the interaction is largely year to year business interaction between the Communist country and a number of private sector risk takers. Alaska's governor believes that the seafood experience bodes well for his plan to finance a $40-60 billion Arctic gas pipeline/LNG project using long term contracts with China as security for a finance plan. Apples and oranges. A large number of private sector investors assume the risk that a seafood deal [...]

7-25-18 Alaska and Venezuela Have This In Common

Q. What do Alaska and Venezuela have in common? Answer. Both have economies that are dependent on volatile oil revenues. Both have insufficiently diversified their economies. Both overspent on social programs during times of high oil prices, ensuring that their economies would be unsustainable during times of low prices. Both now spend more that their economies can afford. Both place greater emphasis on creating new liabilities than attracting new investment. Leaders of Venezuela and Alaska are attracted to socialized control of energy resources. Both are experiencing fiscal crisis. Foreign [...]

7-20-18 Alaska’s Socialist LNG Export Project

What about competitive position of the Alaska LNG idea? The greatest, current competitive failing of the Alaska government LNG project -- aside from its crippling socialist model -- is that its competitors do not have to include the cost of an 800 mile arctic pipeline into the financing plans of their near-tidewater LNG projects. In addition, most of the competition has better labor costs, better logistics, better climatic conditions, and better investor owned management incentives, discretion and market-place reaction times. -dh Today's Alaska LNG News and Our Comment: [...]

5-15-18 Asian LNG Projects Involve Saving/Losing Face

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 [...]
