HOUSTON–Alaskan liquefied natural gas (LNG) could be fueling East Asian power plants in three years with the accelerated completion of an 807-mile pipeline project and the resurrection of a defunct export terminal, Alaska Gov. Mike Dunleavy told global energy leaders at CERAWeek by S&P Global on March 14.

“We have all permits,” he said. “We have won all the court cases. We have Asian allies that want the gas. And we have a supportive president of the United States.”
