It is not at all clear what leverage the governor has in this matter. First, he is asking for proprietary information from the oil companies. The producers should tell him to go pound salt.  When that happens the governor can attempt to terminate their leases and then what? He’s back to square one because the producers will have vacated.  Secondly, the governor is asking for proprietary marketing information that is wholly dependent on a pipeline that is a pipe dream. The pipeline is an avowed $55 billion project searching for a reason.  The world is awash in cheap natural gas. We don’t need oil company marketing plans to know that there’s no market for Alaska gas in state or anywhere that makes the pipeline economic. And this is the governor who’ll solve Alaska’s fiscal dilemma?
