“It basically takes away the state’s ability to comment on and provide feedback on projects … It’s like an open invitation to oil drilling, to any commercial venture, to liquefied natural gas terminals.”

Enter the U.S., which suddenly became the world’s top supplier of liquefied natural gas.

The project would build an 800-mile pipeline to transport gas drilled from Alaska’s North Slope to southern Alaska and then to Asia, home to three of the world’s largest importers of liquefied natural gas, or LNG: China, Japan and South Korea.

China has responded with counter tariffs of 10-15% on US agricultural goods, coal, liquefied natural gas, pick-up trucks, and some sports cars.

Officials with Japan's largest power generator, JERA, have told Reuters they too want to increase purchase of liquefied natural gas from the US to diversify supply as it currently imports half of it from the Asia Pacific region.
