>> we are running out of gas in the Anchorage area so new supplies must be found in four years. Right now we ship some gas out of state as LNG, but in four years we could be turning the boats around and shipping LNG back in! << Yes, I've been aware of the developing gas shortage in the Cook Inlet area. BTW, did you see this article? Enstar gives imported LNG another look petroleumnews.com >> Meanwhile our gas bills are going up, and the Agrium fertilizer plant is set to close in the fall. << This article suggests that the problem Agrium has is not contracting for gas but getting pipeline space. Cook Inlet yields new gas find alaskajournal.com Most of the articles I've seen about the Port Authority proposal have not been too positive. Port authority has 3 months to buy gas or get financial backing petroleumnews.com I suspect that if built, the LNG would go mostly to Japan China, and Korea. It would do nothing for the gas needs of the Alberta Tar Sands projects or the cities of the North and North East. California can't use that much LNG and siting terminals there is difficult, to say the least.
