The Alaska Public Interest Research Group, AKPRIG, has released a report on the Alaska Gas line Inducement Act or AGIA. The report by independent industry analyst Richard Fineberg does not take sides on pipe line projects, but says AGIA provides no assurance for the state of a fair return on its natural gas. Fineberg says, as lease holders of the gas, North Slope producers will be in a position of control even if Trans Canada’s project wins state support.
