>>Which route would that pipeline take?<< TransCanada's route follows the Alaska Highway down thru southern YT and northern BC, then over to Alberta... Alaska Pipeline Project transcanada.com >>Don't some politicians want a route that tracks the Alyeska pipeline? Which would require Alaskan natural gas to be shipped as LNG? Silly when you consider Alaska is part of the same continent as the lower 48.<< Why is it silly if the Asians are willing to pay more for our LNG than Americans? Wally Hickel wants to scrap AGIA entirely and spend billions in state money to build an All-Alaska pipeline. OTOH, this group wants to piggyback on AGIA and build a spur pipeline to Valdez... Mitsubishi signs with port authority to build LNG project tradingmarkets.com >>The most logical one would be to swing east to join the Mackenzie valley pipeline Canada intends to build<< That Canadian project isn't going anywhere, and the AGIA effort may also founder in Canada. COP and BP are touting their own "Denali Partnership" pipeline, but it looks like a ploy to derail AGIA... Denali – The Alaska Gas Pipeline denali-thealaskagaspipeline.com One thing to keep in mind... there's a huge boom in "tight" shale gas plays right now, such as the Barnett Shale in Texas. This natural gas is much closer to market than the Alaska gas, so why the hurry to build an Alaska gas pipeline? I don't detect any urgency on the part of the big oil companies.
