Correction:
Some of the LNG IMPORT terminals have received an export license.
That would have been the Marathon Oil LNG plant. Lived in Moose Pass, Alaska (1969-76) and worked for Marathon offshore on the Dolly Varden production platform . Then Marathon transferred me to Wyoming and other points south.
Back then most anyone could get all the free nitrogen fertilizer they wanted at the LNG plant. Between the free fertilizer and long summer daylight hours, lawn grass would grow like mad. The boy hated the fertilizer, we had over an acre lawn and he had to keep it mowed to feed four head of horses.
Now it’s the ConocoPhillips LNG plant.
I don’t know if it was back then, but Moose Pass became a speed trap.
It definitely is a beautiful place. We miss Alaska. We used to live in Eagle River.
Doesn’t look a bit different today. Go through there every time we drive to Seward.
Oil and energy in general is fungable, the goal is to have enough oil on the market that the price is where it should be, $40 a barrel. That would be good for the whole world, energy is what makes prosperity possible. We should have a nuke plant come online each week, because the primary energy of the future will be electricity, and the sun and wind cannot provide it with todays technology, maybe in the future a powerplant well be minaturized and fit in your home and provide all your needs, that is my hope, that way I would only pay once for my energy instead of monthly.
“”Making Alaska and Hawaii States was a BIG mistake!””
I agree, and I have lived here for 40 years.
Some one should calculate the cost per visitor of all that unused oil and gas.
Yeah! Bring back slavery! Screw those indians!
Who visits a park 2 1/2 times the size of texas! The government turned it into a park to lock down the resources. I think they call that theft in the dictionary. Alaska could have solved American Energy dependancy long ago, IF the Feds wanted that.
Whole family misses it to, kids are in their forties and fifties, but still think of Alaska as home.
We had a few rough spots after we moved up in 1969, but it all proved out for the best.

Until the well ran dry...
Wow, thank you for sharing that. My wife and I really enjoyed going through that.
