This disturbs me.

These products are sold into a world market. If a new, more competitive entrant appears in a market, they will back out existing suppliers or force them back to defend their best netbacks.

Only if obama and the enviro-weenie get their way. In my opinion, go to work ... build the pipeline ... build the one from Canada too. Tell ‘em we don’t need permits; illegals don’t have permits either. Tell ‘em when they clean up that mess, we’ll come back and talk, otherwise go right past their laws ... Build the Pipelines.

"This disturbs me"

Obama has already granted 6 LNG export permits, the last just about 10 days ago. The first of those is supposed to be up and running in 2015.

This pipeline they are talking about in Alaska is not much different from the pipeline that Sen/Gov Frank Murkowski proposed in 2004/2005.

Palin killed Murkowski's pipeline and made a deal with TransCanada to build her pipeline but it never got off the ground, because Palin told the oil companies that she was retaining the option of raising taxes in the future.

The Alaska GOP has been trying to undo what Palin did on the pipeline and Palin's tax increase on oil.
