Alaska Ballot Measure for Gas Reserves Tax Given Green Light

Alaska Lieutenant Governor Loren Leman on Monday gave the go-ahead to a proposed ballot measure that would tax leases on undeveloped natural gas resources. The measure is designed to spur construction of the $20 billion Alaska Gas Pipeline Project, which would lead to the development of more than 35 Tcf of conventional natural gas resources in the state.
