The water up there is not deep enough.. and it`s ice bound for half the year. Not very conducive to supplying a customer with reliable shipping routes.. and some pretty treacherous seas.   We already own a road and the right-of-way and now we own the engineering gleaned under AGIA for half a billion (which Exxon hated to cough up without "fiscal certainty"... but it was bound to by law (SB138).  Asian spot LNG is pushing nine bucks a mmbtu and the way countries are moving towards gas away from oil and coal, we`d better take advantage of our supply and closeness to the biggest market for Alaska gas.  That`s all to the best of my knowledge,..which can be pretty shaky for old goats..
