The fact remains that BP and EXXON admitted in the WSJ article that their financial interests were best served by the longer route.

Yes, Pipeline through Cananda cost less to deliver the product to market. That is in their financial interests, as well as ConocoPhillips and Alaskas. Do you claim we should force them to use a more expensive method to bring Natural Gas to Market?

Look, the LNG was going to serve the CA market, which depends on natural gas to run it's power plants. BP and EXXON are comfortable with the status quo in that market.

All I was saying is that BP has tried to scuttle the LNG port idea for profit making reason. BP is all about control of the industry in all areas.
