The Alaska LNG Pipeline Threatens Our Future

The Trump Administration is trying to force through the Alaska LNG Pipeline, even though it’s economically reckless and harmful to Alaskan communities. This project puts profits over people, and threatens the land, water, and ways of life we hold dear.

We’re organizing to stop it. Want in?

More about the AK LNG Pipe Dream

The AK LNG pipeline is a +$44 billion proposed liquid natural gas (LNG) pipeline that would run from Alaska's North Slope to Nikiski. While it is sometimes touted as a solution to Alaska’s energy crisis, it would not come online in time to meet the current Cook Inlet natural gas shortage. Different versions of this project have been proposed for decades, and this project has continued to leak almost $500 million of public money, all while failing to bring any energy online that could actually help lower energy prices for Alaskans.

The Alaska Gasline Development Corporate (AGDC), a public corporation of the State of Alaska tasked with developing the pipeline, recently engaged Glenfarne group, an outside company, to do the front end engineering design studies.


The idea that this pipeline would be of any economic benefit to the state is a literal "pipe dream". The LNG pipeline would be many years on the horizon, one of the most expensive energy solutions available, does nothing to reduce carbon pollution, and after decades of talking in circles, is still missing many key players. The one gas producer currently on board, through a conditional agreement, does not currently produce any oil or gas. There is no pipeline company (although AGDC has repeatedly misrepresented Glenfarne as "North America's largest pipeline company" despite never having built a pipeline). There are no buyers (only non-binding letters of interest currently being signed by Asian governments to ease trade tensions with the Trump Administration). The project as proposed is only economically feasible with significant subsidies from the state or federal government. Once again, Alaskans would be paying the bill (and the negative consequences) for executives’ and politicians’ pipe dreams.

Despite the project being economically unfeasible and bad for Alaskans, now the Trump Administration is trying to force the pipeline through. Alaskans need to stand up and stop this project for good.

In the past, legislators have been reluctant to cut funding for AGDC, seeing it as politically safer to toss them a few million every year, even though it’s only going to a handful of salaries to keep alive a pipe dream that will never pan out. Legislators haven’t gotten enough pushback for this choice. They need to understand that funding AGDC is not the risk-free, crowd-pleasing choice. It should not be their default tendency, and it does harm to the state not only by draining away funds, but by legitimizing a bogus solution to our real energy problems.

We don’t need to keep spending millions of public dollars on a handful of AGDC salaries and benefits with nothing to show for it. We need to fund education, real energy infrastructure, healthcare, and other services that will keep Alaskans in the state.
