We're currently exporting liquefied natural gas. One of the new pipeline will move natural gas to the East coast for export. Other countries want LNG.

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.
