Considering how often these "guesses" are significantly SKEWED  ;-)

Keep in mind that everyone is overthinking [wasting precious time talking & making noise]....

....it didn't take too much thinking for John McDowell to realize that AK-Railroad can haul 2bcfd of LNG per day [the equivalent to a very big gasline]. This is already is a BIG WIN for Bill&Byron. John was the Alaskan Hero who originally brought this idea to the table. AKRR-LNG eliminated the wasteful studies AGDC blew mega-millions on under Parnell.

I admit AKRR-LNG is not 100% ideal, but it's the best gas-concept Alaska has achieved in the past 70 years since Alaskans began talking about statewide gas.

IMHO:  Flexpipe made in AK is the key to cutting thru all this wasteful BS.
AKFlex races past any greedy game that any outsider tycoons can launch at Alaska. AKFlex is light-years ahead of petty-politix, corporate criminality & malfeasance.

........pull my finger  ;-p
