I don’t think that they are talking about LNG, though. Like Thackney said, gas is being turned into an alternative form of diesel fuel in Qatar and Africa. I think this is what they are considering.

Alaska crude is diminishing quickly. The country needs to either open up other areas of Alaska to drilling (Obama shut them down) or find other sources of fuel.

An increasing number of trucks on the road are running on natural gas, either compressed or LNG. A big factor is that natural gas is a lot cheaper than diesel in terms of fuel-cost-per-mile.

The natural gas will be liquefied for export by ship once it reaches the East coast.
