Roger, an "oil and gas consultant" who mostly worked FOR the companies, was a vocal supporter of SB21, probably one of it`s most ardent supporters if I recall.  
How`d that work out for us Roger?  We near the "million barrels a day" yet?
  For Every shilling "consultant" who says there will not be a gas market in Asia there are two others who say there is and that it will need "reliable" sources of natural gas.
In fact..Exxon itself thinks exactly that...with it`s OTHER natural gas projects in the Mideast..(while stringing Alaska along with 2.7bcf a day surplus). Qatar`s fields in particular,  a gas-RICH nation,.who also own a VERY sizable amount of BP and Exxon stock.  No conflict there right? Might even say a controlling interest?.... And does Exxon agree with Roger about the Asian market?  I don`t think so..
