12-4-17 We’re Back, Refreshed And Find The Alaska Gasline/LNG Challenge Remains

Suzanne Downing, Courtesy, Must Read Alaska The main Alaska gas export project obstacle is the 49th state's political leadership that believes socializing the private energy industry justifies rejection of logic, supply-demand principles and industry expertise when,"now is not the time" for an Alaska gas export project. Today, the publisher of Must Read Alaska, Suzanne Downing, has written a compelling critique of the "non-binding agreement" Alaskan bureaucrats have signed with communist Chinese-owned company bureaucrats. Find her "China Takes All" analysis here. But what is the most frightening element of [...]

We oppose a socialist Alaskan economy on this Veterans Day! by Dave Harbour Alaska Governor Bill Walker. NGP File Photo by Dave Harbour Below, readers will find yesterday's statement from Governor Bill Walker that congratulates the Alaska State Senate on its passage of crime reform.

11/10/17 We’re From the Government and We’re Here To Help!

Consumer Interests Are Best Protected by Free Enterprises and Not Government Enterprises by Dave Harbour Alaska's governor has taken FULL CONTROL OVER what amounts to a 'nationalized' North Slope natural gas project and has attempted to make it glitter with a supportive array of "memoranda of understanding" from Asian (i.e. most recently Chinese) countries. Without political, uneconomic dealmaking, the project is infeasible at this time--even if it were more efficiently managed by the private sector. This is because, with an 800 mile pipeline to fold into the LNG project's [...]

Week's first energy links of use to our readers *Courtesy Larry Persily, Kenai Peninsula Borough: U.S. LNG providers hope to win share of expiring supply contracts (Bloomberg; Nov. 2) - The $90 billion-a-year liquefied natural gas market will be reshaped in 2018 as several large, long-term contracts start to expire. Growing supplies from the U.S., higher demand in Europe and Asia, and geopolitical tension surrounding Russia and Qatar, the world’s top suppliers, promise to shift long-time trading patterns. For decades the majority of LNG bought and sold around the [...]

10-24-17 Alaska Gasline Development Corporation Rests Hopes On “Letters of Intent”

Alaska Gasline Development Corporation (AGDC) Hopes Rest On "Letters of Intent" We would offer a comment that "LOIs" -- especially those with long terms and huge uncertainties and many conditions -- are not very useful. They are not relatively straight forward gas sales contracts with take-or-pay or ship-or-pay provisions. LOIs can be called, "binding", but an "agreement to maybe agree someday" is full of problems no matter what you call it. In short, more public money should not be poured into this socialized, politically-controlled, bureaucrat-run LNG/800 mile pipeline scheme [...]

Northern Gas Pipelines photo by Dave Harbour ...we will draw attention to the enormous waste and foolish decision making accompanying the subsidized, so-called Interior Energy Project: a misguided and uneconomic effort to provide 'affordable' gas to the Fairbanks area.

10-12-17 Your Northern Energy Update

Warning: Alaska treads troubled economic waters in the middle of a fiscal storm. Politicians are making the financial crisis worse by creating state subsidies and ratepayer risks. The story below again reminds us of the Administration's payoff to Interior Alaska supporters via a subsidized Fairbanks gas utility (i.e. when South Central's Enstar customers paid for their own). Not to mention the otherwise uneconomic Fire Island wind generation project and an infeasible Alaska LNG\pipeline scheme. Note how two local politicians in the story below are discussing a strategy for squeezing [...]

10-6-17 Friday’s Much Ado About Energy … And Politics!

The Energy World Under President Trump For the energy scholars among us, this Reuters article has it all: from oil & gas to coal, Paris climate change accord, and alternative energy. While we respect the research and statistics, we could call into question some of the journalism that leans leftward. With that caveat, it is a piece worth maintaining in our archives and a ready reference for those of you who will be giving speeches in the near future. We say, "near future" because the energy landscape is constantly [...]

Thought of the day: "Alaska's government-sponsored LNG project need not contend (directly) with Panama Canal issues. But Alaska faces similar project risks. Do Alaskan citizens want their government's 'go it alone LNG project' to be subject to enormous project risks? Do Alaskans want, as their government LNG project proposes, to commit 25% cash/royalty gas equity to a risky, $40-60 billion venture? Is the risk worth the reward? Do citizens even know how much the reward will be?" -dh Gulf of Mexico LNG Shippers Have a $45000-a-Day Problem, Oil & Gas [...]
