Dan Stickel“what is the capital cost of the project? As we all know, that, that cost has not been released publicly. There's been speculation that the capital cost is higher than the $46.2 billion that we've modeled. And so what we've done here is we've started with our base CAPEX, which is the $46.2 $6.2 billion assumption, and we've modeled out up to a 100% higher cost.”

Dan Stickel“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.”

Paul Gosar“some courts use the "Lodestar" method, allowing nonprofit lawyers to set their own reasonable hourly rates and billable hours. These figures are usually just rubber-stamped by the courts because they spend time Because time spent by the Department of Justice contesting fee awards is added to a nonprofit group's ultimate windfall.”
