With tax breaks already proposed—potentially $16 billion, likely underestimated—the state’s financial risk escalates as Glenfarne delays even basic cost estimates until next year. Cost projections have wildly varied—from $46B to $92B—with internal estimates hovering around $57B. After public pressure, Glenfarne narrowed its range to $44.5B–$54.5B, but critics call those numbers “complete garbage.” New analysis shows North American LNG projects average 60% cost overruns, suggesting Alaska LNG could hit $104B. Without transparent, accurate data, lawmakers are gambling on shaky ground—leaving Alaskans footing the bill for a project whose true cost remains hidden.
