Wanna get 'er done? If and when...
Site the LNG plant at Prudhoe Bay. The oil companies know that's the way to go too.
No pipeline needed but for maybe several miles to tidewater. The Russians are already doing it on the Yamal Peninsula on the Arctic Ocean with a fleet of icebreaking LNG tankers. That fleet pencils in much, much cheaper than an 804 mile gas line. The ships are powered by their cargo as well. There are many more northern hemisphere markets accessible from Prudhoe Bay as well. C'mon. Wise up. Keep spending down and get real..
