Interesting, is that technology that was developed by ARCO, then? So they were allowed to sell the LNG, but not the oil?

Anyway, the road block to LNG in the US is the not in our back yard attitude toward the ports.

I believe they will have them anyways. Alaska is not going to meet their entire need. LNG will be brought into the US from multiple ports. Areas that refuse to allow ports can pay added cost to transport by pipeline from the areas that due have the ports. Design and Construction of LNG ports is becoming a booming business. I have gotten several job offers to move back south to be on one of the teams. The NIMBY's have hurt California over and over, why would it by different this time?

I think it was partly due to restriction put on "North Slope" production. Also at the time, 1969, there was a glut of Natural Gas in Southcentral Alaska. Not the case today, there is talk of building an LNG terminal to import Natural Gas into the Anchorage, Kenai & Mat-Su valley.
