Alaska's LNG Project Under Fire | Anchorage News

Alaska’s $55 billion LNG project is heating up — and sparking major political drama. Governor Dunleavy insists private developer Glenfarne has locked in deals with giants like ExxonMobil and buyers in Asia, plus serious funding. But the Alaska Senate is raising red flags: those “binding” agreements may be just preliminary talks, and even the union MOU isn’t legally enforceable. The governor’s furious about Senate amendments — including a new corporate tax, strict deadlines, and a forfeiture clause that could wipe out Glenfarne’s investment if things go wrong — calling them harmful to Alaska. But the Senate says it’s protecting the state’s interests. Questions linger: how much cash is Glenfarne really committed? Can the project deliver gas to the Railbelt at competitive prices? And why not build a rail spur to Alaska’s North Slope to use our own resources for Alaskans? The debate is about feasibility, accountability, and whether this mega-project truly serves the state.
