The American Prospect

Biden administration officials teamed up with Alaska Republicans to pitch investors on a new pipeline and liquefied natural gas export infrastructure complex.
The $44 billion project would pipe gas across the length of Alaska, from the state’s remote North Slope to an LNG terminal outside Anchorage.
The market for LNG is volatile, and many investors suspect demand will be saturated by similar projects currently under way.
Biden officials have been at pains to distinguish their strategic sales of energy commodities from similar tactics by rivals.
Biden officials also framed their pitch for the pipeline and gas complex around slowing climate change and improving social and economic justice.
“We are actually remarkably restrained in using coercive economic power with the obvious and large exception of U.S. sanctions,” a former National Security Council member says.
