Alaska lawmakers have changed the Senate Resources Committee's version of the governor's liquefied natural gas line property tax bill, which could jeopardize the project. The proposed 800-mile pipeline would transport North Slope natural gas to Cook Inlet and eventually export to Asia. The changes could significantly increase the cost of the project, which is estimated to cost $46.2 billion. If adopted, these changes will raise the cost for Alaskans and potentially delay the delivery of North Slipe gas at a time when Alaska is facing a major energy shortage. Glenfarne has maintained current property taxes could kill the project and warned that any tax increase would be passed directly to consumers. The change comes as President Trump invoked emergency powers to expand U.S. natural gas and LNG capacity.
