Alaska Gov. Mike Dunleavy, who traveled to Washington, DC this week with a few dozen business leaders in Alaska, got a private meeting on Tuesday with President Donald Trump.
Although details of that meeting have not been revealed, it was likely concerning the Alaska LNG Project, which Dunleavy has been working on for many months, along with the Alaska Gasline Development Corporation and the Alaska Industrial Export and Development Authority.
The gasline is also one of President Trump’s major priorities, articulated by him on the first day of his presidency when he signed an executive order to unleash Alaska’s energy potential.
Dunleavy and several Alaska business leaders, such as Alaska Oil and Gas Association Executive Director Kara Moriarty, also met with Interior Secretary Doug Burgum while in the nation’s capital.
The next steps on the gasline might be an announcement in coming weeks related to front end engineering and design (FEED) and partners for Phase 1, which would prioritize getting gas to Alaskans, apart from the export facilities.
The Legislature is also a factor. House Minority Leader Rep. Mia Costello has a resolution in support of the project, a resolution that would give investors some comfort that the Legislature supports the project. As the Legislature is in the home stretch for the FY 26 budget, decisions about the AGDC budget may send a critical message to oil and gas investors.
Any legislator who does not support the gas line should be recalled. It’s that simple.
Probably begging for a job in the new administration despite not deserving and not best qualified
More qualified than you. And he declined offers during early discussions with the Trump administration. Your post is weak sauce.
“The next steps on the gasline might be an announcement in coming weeks related to front end engineering and design (FEED) and partners for Phase 1, which would prioritize getting gas to Alaskans, apart from the export facilities.”
Getting gas to Alaskans is a top priority, imho.
Dunleavy said at a press conference about a month ago that he would be bringing up Pebble Mine with Trump. I suspect he may have done so.
Good, he should bring it up every chance he gets and he should make it his top priority, contingent upon Northern Dynasty divesting itself of all interests in Pebble.
I also hope they are looking for more ways to get rid of Murkowski
oh that would be a good thing!
The Lefties have to be up in arms. “Ahhhh Climate Change, Trump and Dunleavy want to kill us.”
Maybe he invited Trump to his grand opening for the “immigrant” welcome center.
And, we promise not to piss it away this time….
JanL would agree!(Smirk)
They’re deciding what to do with Lisa.
Permit for Pebble mine is coming
The age of liberal lies is over
Dunleavy could have pointed out that the S&P energy sector index is down 14.3% since “Liberation Day” April 2, 2025. Since Trump took office, oil drillers’ stocks have plummeted, crude prices have tumbled and gasoline prices remain stubbornly high. Together, America’s crop of oil-and-gas companies lost more than $280 billion in stock-market value since April 2. That sum is larger than the market cap of Chevron! Trump could open up Kincaid Park for drilling and no company would drill at these prices. I guess the new mantra should be “contract, baby, contract”.
Still pining for Dementia Joe and the Cackling Ho, eh Sebastian?
Gasoline prices, as with most refined products, are bottlenecked by lack of refining capacity, which id s,driven by permitting issues(NIMBY- ism)
One big question ..If financed by private company, which has been offered, would this still provide $$ into the PFD??. I know we need the jobs and the gas produceduction.
Drill baby drill, saw baby saw, mine baby mine! Americans for Americans!!
