The Trump administration plans to open the Alaskan wilderness to drilling and mining.

There is a $44B NG/LNG project they have approved but no one wants to buy. It would have a 1Trillion cf NG per year capacity. For 10%/year "payback" needs $4.40 operating profit per mmbtu, which is more than than current price of NG.

NG is a declining use commodity in the world, with EU and China having 10% reductions for electricity last year. Russia and Australia can supply Asia from existing facilities, and even US gulf coast has too much export capacity relative to future demand, and easier expansion possibilities/commitments. There is no room for this new project even if "allies" are subjugated to buying from US.
