"I think just for clarity on the $60 billion, that is the mid-range number of the Phase 1 and Phase 2, which is $49 billion plus a 20% contingency."

We have that in the appendix at the end. Senator Steadman. Thank you, Mr. Chairman. I think just for clarity on the $60 billion, that is the mid-range number of the Phase 1 and Phase 2, which is $49 billion plus a 20% contingency. So that's important because most of the dollar costs that are reflected in the news media is without the 20% contingency.
Department of Revenue modeling shows that if the Alaska LNG project costs $60 billion instead of the baseline $46.2 billion, the price needed to break even in global markets would jump by $1.60 per thousand cubic feet, significantly affecting project viability and the state's fiscal analysis of competing tax proposals.

Alaska Department of Revenue modeling shows the Alaska LNG project could cost the state $16.2 billion through 2062 under worst-case production scenarios combining Prudhoe Bay oil losses with Point Thompson underperformance at $100 per barrel oil prices.
