From the transcript
Slide 7, we were asked to analyze the relationship between upstream gas price and state revenues. And so what we've done for this is we've presented a sensitivity matrix similar to the matrices that I presented earlier. But in this case, we're looking at the project capital cost and the upstream gas price and how that relates to cumulative state revenues over life of project. And we— and again, this assumes that the full AK LNG project goes forward under any of these tax regimes. And what we see here is obviously higher state revenues with higher gas prices because that would increase production tax and royalty from the upstream.

Alaska gas line faces economic challenge even with tax breaks
Alaska LNG needs $8.48 to $9.07 per thousand cubic feet to break even, but global prices are $8 to $9. • Governor's tax plan cuts state revenue from $29.7 billion to $22.5 billion over the project's life. • Capital cost overruns and producer gas prices pose bigger risks than tax relief can fix. • State could invest $4.4 billion for a 25 percent equity stake.
House Resources gas line bill would cost municipalities $13B under governor's plan
Governor's plan cuts municipal revenue by $13 billion, House Resources version cuts only $2 billion • Governor replaces property tax with volumetric tax statewide, House Resources keeps property tax on facilities • Both versions reduce state revenue, project remains economically challenged at current market prices
