While the Biden administration halts American energy, Alaska powers ahead with a $44 billion pipeline that could reshape global natural gas markets and revitalize their state’s economy for generations.
At a Glance
- Alaska’s massive $44 billion LNG project includes an 800+ mile pipeline that will transport 3.5 billion cubic feet of natural gas daily
- Taiwan’s CPC Corporation has signed a letter of intent for six million tons of LNG, potentially the largest off-take agreement in history
- The fully-permitted project has attracted serious interest from Asian nations including Taiwan, Thailand, South Korea, and Japan
- Glenfarne serves as majority owner and lead developer, with final investment decisions expected by fall 2025
- Governor Dunleavy predicts gas exports to begin flowing to Asia by 2030, bringing long-term prosperity to Alaska
American Energy Independence Moves Forward in Alaska, Despite Federal Obstacles
While the Biden administration continues its war on American energy with endless regulations and pipeline cancellations, Alaska is showing the rest of the country how energy independence is done. The ambitious Alaska LNG project, valued at a whopping $44 billion, features an 800-plus mile pipeline stretching from the North Slope to Nikiski.
This isn’t just another pipeline – it’s designed to move approximately 3.5 billion cubic feet of natural gas per day, primarily destined for international markets across the North Pacific where demand for clean, reliable energy continues to grow.
Unlike so many energy projects strangled by endless litigation and regulatory roadblocks across the Lower 48, Alaska’s LNG project has successfully secured all necessary permits and overcome legal challenges. This achievement alone is remarkable in today’s anti-energy political climate where pipeline projects face years or even decades of delays.
Governor Mike Dunleavy has been actively promoting the project, recently visiting Taiwan, Thailand, South Korea, and Japan – all nations that have expressed serious interest in securing access to Alaska’s abundant natural gas resources.
Today is a historic day for Alaska. Oil was
discovered in Prudhoe Bay almost exactly 57 years ago and since then Alaskans have never given up on finding a way to also benefit from our North Slope natural gas. Alaska has made a significant investment to develop Alaska LNG to the… https://t.co/vVY9ZxXQCx— Governor Mike Dunleavy (@GovDunleavy) March 28, 2025
Asian Nations Eager for American Energy Security
While the Biden administration bows to climate extremists and begs OPEC to produce more oil, our allies across Asia are lining up to secure American energy. Taiwan’s CPC Corporation has already signed a letter of intent to purchase six million tons of LNG from the Alaska project, potentially representing the largest off-take agreement in LNG history.
This development comes as China continues to menace Taiwan, making the island nation increasingly aware of its energy vulnerability. Meanwhile, ongoing discussions with Thailand, South Korea, and Japan explore potential investment in the pipeline and additional gas purchases.
While domestic energy production languishes under crushing federal regulations, Alaska’s project demonstrates that states can take initiative when Washington fails. Glenfarne has stepped up as the majority owner and lead developer of the Alaska LNG project, with critical investment decisions expected by August or September this year. The installation of the pipeline itself is anticipated to take two and a half years, creating thousands of jobs for skilled American workers who have seen their opportunities dwindle under anti-energy policies from the current administration.
Taiwan’s $44 Billion Alaska LNG Deal: A Win for Energy and Strategy
Taiwan just dropped a bombshell that’s set to jolt the U.S. economy.
On March 21, 2025, the island’s state-owned CPC Corporation signed a deal with Alaska Gasline Development Corp to invest in the $44 billion…

Permanent Prosperity vs. Government Dependence
Unlike the unsustainable spending sprees and green energy boondoggles favored by progressive politicians, the Alaska LNG project offers genuine long-term prosperity through responsible resource development. Governor Dunleavy envisions the project providing fuel for military bases and utilities throughout the state, enhancing both energy security and affordability for Alaskans. In an era of astronomical inflation and energy costs driven by disastrous federal policies, this represents a lifeline for families and businesses struggling to make ends meet.
The potential goes far beyond just exporting gas. The project could support future manufacturing and data centers in Alaska, diversifying the state’s economy while capitalizing on its natural resources. Oil and gas already form key pillars of Alaska’s economy, alongside tourism, fishing, timber, and mining. With pipeline exports potentially beginning as soon as 2030, the LNG project represents a generational opportunity for Alaska to secure its economic future while helping supply the world with cleaner energy – all without a single federal handout or subsidy program. If only Washington would get out of the way and let more states follow Alaska’s lead on energy independence.
