Future of state's (Nikiski) LNG plant to flame out?
peninsulaclarion.com

Few Alaskans realize today what a pioneering industrial initiative the LNG plant was when it was built in the late 1960s. The plant is not only the first and still the only U.S. LNG plant built for liquefaction export but it was also the first to attempt long-distance shipments of LNG, from Alaska to Japan.

At that time LNG was being shipped for short distances, such as from North Africa to Europe, but not across thousands of miles of ocean. Kenai was to demonstrate the potential for a global LNG business, and today liquefied gas is being shipped around the world. In fact, the longest-distance LNG ocean shipment was made recently, from Norway to Japan.
