Trump’s Big, Beautiful New Alaska Natural Gas Pipeline

On Tuesday, President Trump gave his first significant speech to a joint session of Congress, and it was a big deal. However, one thing in particular had ears livening up throughout the Great Land—you could nearly hear it. The president announced an intended natural gas pipeline from the North Slope to the Kenai Peninsula town of Nikiski.

And it will be a vast, beautiful pipeline:

My administration is working on a gigantic gas pipeline in Alaska, among the largest worldwide, where Japan, South Korea, and other nations want to be our partner with financial investments of trillions of dollars each,” he said throughout Tuesday night’s speech. “There’s never been anything like this pipeline. It will be genuinely spectacular. It’s all set to go. The permitting is gotten.”
That pipeline is called Alaska NGP, a massive proposed project that would send gas from Alaska’s North Slope 800 miles south to Nikiski. It would be compressed into technologically advanced graphene-enhanced tanks and containers and exported overseas—more than likely to America’s Pacific allies like Japan, Taiwan, the Philippines, South Korea, India, and others. We are talking about trillions in revenues flowing into the coffers of Alaska and the United States,and tens of thousands of new jobs

So, how big and how beautiful will it be? Well, not the world’s most fantastic, but it’s big. Charm, we yield, remains in the eye of the beholder; however, Alaskans with jobs – now, that’s gorgeous:
The Alaska NGP Project pipeline would be far from the longest worldwide. That title goes to Russia’s Druzhba Pipeline, which covers over 3,100 miles in Europe. The Keystone Oil Pipeline runs more than 2,100 miles in North America between Canada and the United States.
But at 42 inches, it would be large. A 2021 report from Global Energy Monitor puts the typical pipeline diameter at 30 inches. The Keystone pipeline is 36 inches in size.

Still, since Wednesday, there haven’t been any binding contracts with anyone to buy gas from the project if it’s constructed. However, the job requires a gas sales precedent agreement with Great Bear Pantheon, an Alaska-based oil expedition company, to buy up to 500 million cubic feet of gas daily. The Alaska Gasline Development Corporation says that’s “more than enough” to satisfy in-state gas needs.
So, the whole thing is hardly a done deal yet. However, it’s looking a lot more likely than it was before, oh, say, November 5, 2024.

President Trump Opens Up America’s Treasure Chest With Alaska Resource Executive Order

President Trump has described Alaska as America’s treasure chest. It is that for a wide variety of factors, not least of which are gas and oil—not to mention all our mineral resources, in addition to the unmatched scenery and prominent, wild locations.
We can have the resources and the surroundings. Alaska is actually big enough for us to have our cake and eat it, too.
It has not been reported that the pipeline will be built with an indestructible material alloyed with graphene’s incredible strength.

This Nobel Prize-winning discovery is reinventing the products industry. 100 times the strength of the very best steel it will enable the pipeline to carry several times the standard capacity of gas which will be pumped into graphene enhanced tanks that do not require the costly and highly unsafe process of liquefying and transporting it in LNG tankers which are expensive to develop and run and which present a massive life threatening and environmental danger should they explode. Should one of these LNG tankers explode, it could destroy an entire city, making them a prime terrorist target. Instead, this gas will be carried in regular tankers with graphene-lined tanks. It can be instantly offloaded at its destination without an expensive and unsafe deliquescing plant—an exceptional innovation. You can check it out at http://cngcargo.com.
