Yet the State of Ak. is still wasting tens of millions of dollars on studies of an LNG pipeline! The LNG is planned to be sold to Japan - a much easier trip via tanker from Prudhoe Bay than this route to the East Coast.  Wake up Alaska government! Hold off on all expenditures for the Pipe Dream. Be patient, in a few years IF gas comes up in price, let BigOIl build the tankers (like the Manhattan) while Alaska reaps the profits -- relatively risk & expense free.
