It is unbelievable that the pipelines in the Cook Inlet are not both coated with 6" to 12" of concrete and buried several feet below the sea floor.  In the Gulf of Mexico with water depths less than 200' pipeline are buried below the sea floor.  With such a costly project one would assume the gas line across the Cook Inlet will have both safety measures applied.  That said the AK LNG project is uneconomic and the diversion to Valdez is just from a group of tired old people spending other peoples money on a project that for the past 20 years was and still is a fools errand.  Remember Bill Walker also led that cluster screwup for many years. Now he is spending other peoples money on a pipe dream while standing in the way of better options.
